I mean why do people waste such time asking, "Whos more important, my kids or spouse?" Isn't this such a waste of time?

I think that anyone who tries to compare their love for thier kids with thier spouses is stupid. First of all your spouse should want you to love your kids more than you love them. The love you have for your wife may be stronger than ever but the love you have for something that your own self created is a love that nothing can overcome. The love you fell the first time you hold your baby girl and you can't beleive that you made something so beautiful. But then there is the love you have for your spouse for given you that beautiful being. It is just a different kind of love. If you had the choice to save your kids life and your spouses life which would choose? You may say you could never choose but you will find that your parent instinct will take over, and you will do everything to save both the kids and your spouse, even if it means losing your own life.

Yes, because it goes without saying you love your spouse or you wouldn't want to spend the rest of your life with them, and you love your children because they are your own flesh and blood - the love you have for both is equal in magnitude but a different kind of love. You love your friends, you love your parents, you love your lover, but can you really be asked who is more important? It is not a question to be asked, because you cannot truthfully answer it and everyone is important - I would never impose such a choice on anyone - All these people make our life complete and make us complete, losing any of them is like losing a piece of yourself.

I do not believe that such activities are a a waste of time. I always find myself examining my relationships - rather they be the type of relationship that I have with my boyfriend or the type of relationship that I have with my family members. It helps me sort out any problems that we may have and to better our relationship. Only those people who are not in love and who do not love someone else would think that the examination of their love and relationships would be a waste of time.

You love your spouse with respect, honor and appreciation. Your love for that spouse is both spiritual and sexual.
You love your children with respect, and thankfulness. Your love for your children is all spiritual.
Your children will someday grow up and move out to be with their spouse, and have their own children.
You will (or supposed to) spend the rest of your life with your spouse. Hence the vow "to death do you part."
Neither your spouse or your children are more important than the other. However, it is the parents responsibility to work together to raise happy & healthy children into well adjusted and thankful adults.

People that ask this kind of question enjoy psychological games. It somehow gives them a sense of power getting into your psych. Don't get caught up in such games. ignore the question or ask them why they want to know.

the love you have for your spouse and for your children is a different kind of love. There is no comparing for me.

Yeah, it's useless to compare them, they're different kinds of love. See the Greek concept of "Agape" (for both) and "Eros" & "Phileo" (for the spouse).

Yeah, I don't really get that. As a family unit shouldn't they all love and respect one another equally?

you love your kids, but honour your spouse.
