Who you will choose, your mother or your spouse?

Tired of driving, I took a taxi to a city recently. It was raining heavily and resulted in a heavy traffic jam. I was lucky that the taxi driver was very talkative that he talked non-stop and asked me so many questions. At least I feel entertained to answer his questions mostly about jokes. Looking at the traffic, he told me that he was definitely sure that I couldn't reached my destination, not at least after an hour or so. I just sighed. I hate traffic jam. I looked out from the window and realized that he might be true. There was no sign that the rain was going to stop. Suddenly he asked me,"Are you married?" which I answered firmly, "Yes!" "So, if lets say, you are having a picnic with your beloved husband and your mother-in-law, near a waterfall. Then you and his mother decided to swim. Out of sudden, something bad happened and both of you almost drowned. Who do you think your husband will try to save?" he glanced at me and giggled. Ahh, this old man! Why did he ask me this? It was hard to answer. I tried to think logically and came out with the answer. "It depends on whom he loves more. Maybe ME or maybe he loves his mother more than me! Well, I don't mind who he is going to save. But if he saves his mother, I know then that he doesn't really love me that much and furthermore if I die, he will definitely marry another woman. But if he saves me, he will lose his mother forever! Uncle, why you asked me this question..it is hard to answer!" I sighed. He laughed at me. Then he told me, "Wow, you are very kind to let your husband saves his mother! Most women want their husbands to save them!" and laughed again. Then he continued, "You know what! He is supposed to save you instead of his mother. I believe his mother will agree with that too. You see, his mother is old. She will die of old age sooner or later. And you are her daughter-in-law. She doesn't mind if her son saves you instead of her because it is both of you who are going to continue the family line!" And he continued laughing and singing happily. So friends, what do you think? Who you are going to save, your mother or your spouse?
