Do you save your kids, or your wife?

Hi, That is a tough moral dilemma. I too would choose to save my kids. Not to put down my ex wife or anything, but it would actually be a real easy decision for me. Even before she became my ex. My kids need and deserve the right to enjoy their lives and make their way in the world. So would my ex wife...but she had quite a bit of opportunity already. Besides that...who could ever let their kids go....you just could not. cheers,

My kids. The reasoning is the same as yours. Plus if I were in the situation, I would want my kids to be saved not me. Also, my husband has learned how to swim and should use his skills and intelligence to get out of the situation. He has more endurance anyway. My kids won't be able to do that as easily. If the shoe was on the other foot, my husband would not think about it twice and save the kids;)

When I was young it would be my wife as, tough as it may seem, we could always have more children. Now that we are old and grey, it would be the children to be saved as we have done our bit and they are the next generation.

I know this is a very difficult question. My friend told me that before she and her husband got married they had a couple counseling by the priest. And this is the same question thrown at the men. Most of them didn't get the right answer. But my friend's would be husband said that he would save the wife first because he can't live without her. The counselor confirmed the validity of his answer. Accordingly, men made a vow and signed a contract with her wife. So it's just right that he prioritize his wife over the children.

if i were in the situation, i would choose my husband over my kid...itz just like when a wife is giving birth and the husband needs to choose who would he like to save the wife or the child...i can live without my husband thou i don't still have one, my husband comes first...

I agree with you that most people would in fact save the kids , and it is a horrible thing to think about , but we all ask questions like this sometimes . I would save my soon to be hubby ,because right now we dont have any kids , so there is my answer .
