I think it depends on the situation just remember that they are both now your family just as the other member mention about that. But remember that your family is your life time accompany even when you were born meaning it's fix or you cannot change your family while your wife can. I hopes it helps!

first of all you tell me that when you married a girl and now she is your wife so IS SHE NOT A PART OF YOUR FAMILY? so why this question of choosing between your wife and YOUR family. now she is also your family. secondly you havent mentioned the situation.But as per your family there must be other members also but for the girl its only you coz she allready has left her home her parents everything for being with you as your wife.so its your duty to be with her in all the circumstances. and as i can see your name you are an indian so just remember the oaths you have taken while getting married to her infront of god and all the society and also YOUR family. so there is no question of leaving her this way...if you do so you will be betraying god,yourself, your wife,the whole society and your family too.. You will be a looser who cannot live up to his say.

It really depends on the situation... Sometimes the answer is family, sometimes the answer is wife, sometimes you just can't make a choice. If your family are not supportive or loving, etc. and have always put you down or abused you then obviously the choice is your wife. You would be able to make your own family with her and move on with your life. On the other hand, if it were that your family is very close and loving and then you get married to someone who treats you bad and say maybe cheats on you or abuses you then you would choose your family. But if you have both a loving and supportive family and a great wife who treats you well then you would not have to make a choice between the two; you could just enjoy them as a whole. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Their is no need to choose between your wife and your family. This is also my current problem today. But when I think of it deeply, we don't need to choose. The best way is to find a solution which keeps your family and your wife.

It's a hard choice. In theory we should be standing in the middle and fix the situation, but sometimes in reality, being in the middle sometimes can cause us to lose both our family and our wife, so if you think that you need to choose one, then choose what's best for you, like other responders said, choose who treat you better.

Depends on what the situation is. Who's asking you to choose and what made you choose one from them? If there is any valid reason to do such you have to carefully assess the situation. A friend of mine had the same situation before. But it is her mom who asked her to choose: my friend's husband or my friend's mother. She dismissed such foolishness her mom was asking. Coz anyway there is no place her mom would go but in the house of her husband. She just made it clear to her that it is not right for her to make her choose since she already is married and with 3 kids from his husband.

It depends how old are you. If you are still young and don't feel ready for a family do not make one. But if you have lived enough, tried many different things and you feel the only thing you want is a family that's the moment when you should know that they are the most important persons for you. I personally would never give up my family because of friends, job or problems.

I know what you mean but what one really must look at is if one's family was good to him. If they were the person must be grateful, if not, we all need to seek help so he must choose the one who will give him a present and a future: that'd be the wife.

i don't think so that you need to choose between your wife and family, since both were your love once and both has a different special position in your heart and life, both were different in nature and in relation so there's no need to choose, but if you could just state what's the real issue on why you need to choose between it, maybe we can give advises and opinions.... but as for me when time comes that i really do need to choose between two parties, i would rather choose my famiyt, cause you can find another wife but parents and siblings are really irreplaceable ...

Choose both your wife and family. There is no need to separate yourself from anyone. If they have any misunderstanding, be in the middle and do your best to fix it. If it can't be fixed immediately, choose your wife. You are responsible for her and so is she to you. But I do hope that everything will be OK as soon as possible. This new year should be a fresh beginning for all of us :)
