The relationship of a mother to her kids and kids to their mother is the strongest ever in anyone's life. More than to father it is mother who is more close to kids. And that's why we relate the most dearest things to mother. Eg. Motherland, Mother tongue, Mother nature etc. We are build up on our roots with our mother. To me, personally, I've differences of opinion with my mother. I don't agree with most her attitudes, ideas, traits, nature etc. But my relation with her as my mother is so valuable and precious for me.

I think this differs in every situation, I guess it depends how much in love the husband and wife is, there is no doubting the love of a mother and her babies but I guess you would have to say maybe with a Mother of the natural bond with her children would have to be the strongest, oh but that is all too hard as they can be so different at different times....such a hard question hey....

This one cannot be picked like this balasri. Any relationship when based on trust, faith, understanding and love gets stronger day by day. It could be that of husbands & wives, parents-children, siblings, teachers & disciples, lovers, friends.

For some people I guess it depends on what kind of relationship you have with people. For me the parent child relationship is stronger. I will always love my parents but it's a different kind of love. I am not married but if I had to choose I would choose my parents. My parents have always been there for me I know their love for me is everlasting. No matter what I do they will always love me and I them.
On the other hand relationships come and go. Family will always be there. Just because they are your spouse today doesn't mean they will be tomorrow. They could cheat or fall out of love or any number of things to cause a break up.
Maybe some other people are not close to their parents or their parents didn't treat them well growing up so they are not a loyal to their parents. So it all depends on how you were brought up I guess.

i think is parents and kids.
even in some families,the parents and kids have some misunderstanding for a long while,they even hate each other,but one day,earlier or later,they would forgive each other.
but for wives and husband,if one betrayed another,it could never be forgived or very hard,some become enemies.

It is a good argument.As far as I am concerned I am what I am today because of my wife only.I used to be a rogue and irresponsible and lost a lot of money.She had every right to ditch me and punish me.But she stood besides me and transformed me to a responsible rich man.Again I do not insist that every woman should be so patient.It happened to me.That's all.And with so much to owe to her I still love my daughter too much which my wife understands.

I think parents and kids...in times trouble your family is there to take you in, but let me ask you this, is your husband/wife could 100% for the wrong you've done? I would say nope to that becuase even though he/she says I forgive you but once,you got fight or have a little misunderstanding he/she will bring up the issues again...forgive is to forget otherwise you don't call it forgive at all.so parents and kids is the strongest relarionship.

I don't think you can gauge different types of relationships. The love between partners and the love between parents and children are two entirely different things, probably of equal strength.

Yes of course they are different.Then why my wife and daughter keep saying and teasing that I love the other more.
They must be feeling in their heart of hearts that their own relationship must be stronger even if they know that both the relationships are different and not comparable.

It depends for different people in different situations. i think mostly parent and children relationship is the strongest.

basasri, such a difficult question. I think each relationship is unique and equally strong. I say that, yet, my bond with my baby deepens every day. I spend every hour of every day with him - only yielding time with him to my husband when I shower or when I have a bad migraine and never tire of his prescence. I would lay down my life for him.
Can't wait till he's more independent though! I may retract that once he is though! Yet, you're husband is your companion for life, you will love him, nurture him, take care of him - and vice-versa 'till well into old age.

I am extremely hapy that you are having a lovely husband and an heavenly baby.You dont have to choose between the two.For that matter nobody has to.It is a discussion to bring out the many views born out of personal experiences and thinkings of our friends here..I love you.Al the best.

we can have a strong relationship with anyone but its hould be on the basis of trust and mutual understanding the person with whom you share this relationship should have all the qualities you need to share your feelings and other things but until and unless you dont have trust you cannot maintain a stron relationship

My answer is for Husband and Wife and not for parents and children. Many prove to give you for free and no need for you to pay me, but it's quite right of if you give me a glass of water as feeling thirsty responding and do talking in your continuous 5 discussions via my email notification. May I?...ha..ha..ha...
Your word for STRONGEST that make me chosen that for my answer. The strategic prove is husband and wife always having sleep together for every night in a year and the rest of their entire life. They hold strongly to each other. Who started first, I don't know...!!!!!ha..ha..ha..

for me the strongest among the two is the parents and children relationship because you may have conditional love to your partner but to your children it is always unconditional. like my mom said, it is better to loose a husband rather than a child who comes from your womb, through your own flesh, with same blood and everything. she might hate her husband but to her children she cannot do that because her love is more than husband. and i do agree on that because i know that too. in the future yes i would love my wife but to my children, double is my love for them or even thrice to what i love my wife. so therefore i could say that the strongest among the two is the parent-children relationship.

You never realize how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic - and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paperlace Mother's Day card and school report since day one.-Pam Brown
I would like to dedicate this quote to this response.

I think for me its between parents and children, As we can observe A family will always be family till the end, A lot of times parents can give their life for their children at all cost, no matter what happen they will always show all the love and that is so great.For me parents and their children are for keeps and for a lifetime. Unlike husband and wife which do have divorce....
