Is your children more important to you or your husband/wife? I am sure they are both important but if you needed to pick one, which one? It is very tough, isn't it? I'm asking myself too...

My kids are the most important to me. Yes, I love my husband very much, but my kids come first. If it ever came down to it, my hubby could take of himself, my kids need me.

My son, without a doubt, or a moments hesitation. He didn't ask to be born and he had no choice but to end up with me. I'm with him first, last and always!

hello mermaidivy what a rough decision that would be to either decide which one is more important to me, my children or my hubby. i would have to pick my children anyday over my hubby. i couldn't and i do not know how that i would make it everyday without my children in my life. i have two boys that still live at home with me, one is ten, fixing to be eleven this coming Saturday, and the other boy is only eight years old. i have an older son which has already moved out of the house. but right now, i would pick my children over my hubby, just due to the fact that they are still young, and they need my love and support everyday. my boys bring me much happiness each day. i miss them so very much when that they are in school each day and i await on the school bus every afternoon to hug and get a kiss from each one of them. take care and have a beautiful evening.

that's very tough I believe, I don't have children yet but I did deeply think about it when I was creating this discussion and I still don't know the answer... Thanks for your response! :-)

hmmmm...this is a very tricky question...So now I need to dig deep and really analyze what you said. You did not ask which one we loved more..I have 4 children and one hubby...(who would want more!)..I love them all dearly. You also did not say we had to give up either one of them either. You asked which one is more important... Well I guess it depends on the situation at the time and every family is different. My kids are all grown and on their own. Obviously my hubby lives with me and is the one I see and spend time with every day and is with me for life..I dont have to live with my children any longer but i do have to live with my hubby..(lucky me hes terrific!!) Soooo..I think after all the years of raising and providing for my kids, its time for me and hubby time.. This does not in any way mean I love my children any less. Thats not what you asked!!! Did I wiggle around it???? Afterall, hubby and I have to be strong, happy and united to meets the needs of the children!

What a lovely family hehe. I know it would be very tough to make a decision whether you need to give up one side. But children will leave you in the future anyway by creating their own family and stuff so husband is really very important. Thanks for your response! :-)

It is not tough at all.Only the child are important to everybody, if you they are asked to select one.All are suffering a lot for their children only. The child are gift of god and we our partner prior to our relationship. But no one knows about their child till they born. This may be the reason for that.

if i really have to pick one, i would definitely choose my... wife, of course! reasons are simple:- 1) i can choose who to be my wife 2) i can't choose who to be my children so, if my wife is not important, why should i choose to spend the rest of my life with her? children are just the gift from God because of the love i'm sharing with my wife.:)

Most definitely children. From the moment they are born, I think it is our responsibility and our instinct to do our best to ensure their survival. You brought them into the world, so you owe it to them. There are exceptions of course, like if your child grows up to be a danger to other people.
