Should My Spouse Come Before My Kids?

 

When many young couples who are deeply in love get married, they never seem to anticipate or plan for how to handle kids when they come. And some kids just show up in the very first nine months into the marriage. We have found women who conceive the very first month after the wedding develop complications that the young couples grapple with just after their honey-moon.

When the kids start coming in a marriage it usually have some impact on the relationship between the couple and their ability to mange this effectively determines how they would sustain the joy in their home.

How does having a baby affect your marriage? Who do you pay more attention or your spouse or your kids?
 
 Married people have to deliberately prioritize their relationships. Before you have children, your spouse obviously is number one. But once children enter the picture, parents often put their kids ahead of their spouses on the priority list.

What do you think is the right thing to do? Should your spouse come before your kids? Or should it be the other way around?


Please share your opinion. Some think kids come first, while others say it’s their spouse all the way! What do you think?
