I guess my answer will be 'my wife'. This is because I know my mother won't mind if I answer in this way. However, if it is a real situation, I can't say for sure who will I rescue first...

If i was a guy and it was a choice between my wife and my mother, I would choose my wife. This is my reasoning why. I had my mother most of my life, she is my past, but my wife she would be my future.

my mother & wife have equal importance to me. that's how you should treat them. you must never love one more than the other. so since they are of equal importance, i guess the one that i'll save first is the one who is near me.

I told my boyfriend he should help his mother first,though i am his wife in the future.In my mind,mother is the most important person for anybody.If a man forget mother's love after marriage,i don't think i can go on loving him.For this question,the man should rescure his mother and then go back for his wife. yeah,as in fact,this is quite a cruel question,in spite of any answer you select.

Hey chunxia! the most common yet tough question to ans, to avoid any of the mentioned situation... I guess is better to let the wife learn how to swim first!

LOL! Erm, anyways, I'm a girl. =P But I would suggest letting the wife at least learn how to thread water, so could wait till the mother got saved then save the wife HAHA! =D

If I am the girlfriend of the boy,I wish his choice would be me.But I wish it will not be the real situation.We will consider better method to save both of them.Both are important persons in one's life,after all.
