I love my husband so much, but when we have children I love more my children. They are the most precious gift I've got...and I don't want to loose them... Want to know your feelings too...

You and your children have blood relations but this thing is not there with your husband. He is your husband, but he belongs to a different family. It happens with everyone. Every woman loves their children more than their husband, exceptions are always there. Good Post indeed!

I agree although I love my hsband with all my heart, I have to say I love my children more because they are a part of me they came from within and they can never be replaced where as my husband can.

i love them both.. i love my children as i love my husband.. but i always hear this that mothers lovce much their children than their husband. maybe because their children is their own flesh and blood and they're from the mother's womb while your husband is not. can you get what i'm trying to say? maybe this the reason why. but in my case, i love both of them...

Why not equally?? The love that we have for both is different- both unconditional but very important- If you have more love for your kids and then they grow up and move out- you only have your husband- So I say equally!

Obviosly every one is going to say that they love their children. Even the husband will say he loves children more than wife and even wife will say she loves children more than husband. Because we bring children in this world. We bring them up. Children in their childhood are so much depend on us that we automatically try to give them the best. Children when they are small they love parents the most, but as the time goes, this love becomes less and less, while the love or attachment or respect whatever was between husband and wife still remains the same. Children when they go to high school, they even feel shy to introduce their parents to their friends........of-course parents don't mind this behavour of children because their love for children cannot diminish. But mark my words, when husband will be in trouble only wife will be there to look after him and when wife will need help, only husband will be there, it just happens that both of them are so busy in bring up their children and enjoying moments with children that they forget about eachother, and then when oldage comes and children are no more attached to you, then both husband and wife realise their mistakes and try to makeup for what they have lost, but alas! it is too late, time has gone.........but you cannot help it . This is how life has been all the time and this is how it will be always. Parents cannot avoid children for their personal happiness. So I will say all the parents, do love your children but please don't ignore each other.

i personally love both my partner and my daughter the same amount, but each love is different. The love you have for your partner is that he wil protect you and support you forever and vice versa. the love you for child is completely different and i dont think i could explain it but i will try... my love for my daughter is amazing, i cry when she cries i laugh when she laughs and i would kill or die for my child. I will make sure no harm becomes of her ever or i will try my very hardest!

I can not find the comparison. I love both my son and my wife. My love to them is balanced. They are both important in my heart. I cannot lose either of them. They are my life, my sunshine and motivation to strive on.

How can a person answer such a question? But yet i will try, did you hear of Medea, she was a Greek mythology character and was half human and half the granddaughter of the Greek god, and she loved her husband so much. So when he betrayed her she decided that she is going to kill their children in which they both loved, because she knew that they were the one thing that he could not handle. So she did kill her children because of her love and revenge to her husband. Indeed a sad story. Is there a way to answer the question that you asked. I do not think so, it is too scary to even think of preferring one over the other.

This is a very tough decision. I love both of my husband and son. If you really ask me to select one, maybe I love my husband more, then my second favorite is my son. Finally I love myself, is it alright?:)

I'm also wondering if this happens to other people. When we starting with my husband, I love him so much, but now that We have a daughter, I think I love our daughter more. Maybe it's because the baby is adorable and I spend more time now with our daughter than with him. Now I have to balance my time to not let him feel jealous of our daughter.hahaha!
