I love them both! but if I must say whom I love more, I definitely love my daughter more.
Anyone’s here feel the same way too? Am I not a good wife?

The love you have for your children is not the same love you have for your husband. It is not even the same love you have for your parnets. There are many kinds of love. So to say you love your children more is not really accurate I would say you love them different. I love my daughter with all my heart and as I am divorced from her father I guess I loved her more. Still the loves are different. My daughter is a part of me, she is an extention of my life. So the love I have for her is great. The love I have for the man in my life is a bit different. I would die for them both but if I had to choose which to save in a stiuation where I could not save them both of course it would be my child. That is just the way it works. So you are not a bad wife dont worry.

A wife's love for her husband and her love for her children are two very different emotions, driven by different instincts.
A mother's primary motivation is to protect and nurture her children at ALL COSTS. Some times the grown-up daddy has to step out of line for the affections of the woman so she can do her job toward her children.
This natural instinct does not lessen the woman's love for her husband, but may cause it to look less intense in practice.

Of course you love your child more!! All mothers do (I hope). There is a reason we mothers feel this way. I think it has to do with nuturing and protecting. Your husband, though you love him, does not NEED you (hopefully) the way your daughter does. You don't feel personally responsible for him; he is his own person. She grew inside of you and you have loved her from before she was born. You can't say that about your husband and NO, that does not make you a bad wife, just a very normal and loving mother.

I would kill for my kids!!! and if that included him oh well. I love my husband dearly and I'm sure you do to but the love you have for your children is a different kind of love. I would kill for him also. I don't think you are a bad wife. a husband and wives love is just different, it was not love at first site with myself and my husband i think true love between husband and wife takes time and still growes throughout the years. That love for your child is LOVE AT FIRST SITE. What a wonderful love!!!!

Love is love - it just takes on different FORMS. Mother love, father love, romantic love, etc. The ego mind believes that our salvation does not lie in loving everybody, but rather we start to believe that there is this perfect person which causes us to leave out the rest of mankind and to that extent you will be in hell no matter what they do if you wait long enough.

I love my children with all my heart. My husband came to an agreement when he lost his kidneys from a genetic disorder. I was to save my kidneys for my boys in case they might suffer from the same thing later in life. This was a hard decision to make watching him suffer, but he got a kidney from another relative.
I have to say, my kids do come first. But in the sight of tragedy, you still want to do everything possible for your spouse.

You are a good wife, we all love our children in a very different way than we love our spouses.

Yes, you are a good wife! It is in our nature to love and protect our children beyond anything else.

Why are you even saying you love one more than the other? Marriage and family shouldn't be that way; it's all right to love people *differently,* but not in *different amounts.*

It's a totally different love. Children NEE D our help & we can see a lot of ourselves in them so it's a different love....not a more or less love...that is my view anyway ;-)
Would I throw myself in front of a moving vehicle for my daughter? Yes! without hesitation...for my hubby? Well, I may have some hesitation - lol
Just because he's bigger than me & would stop a vehicle better than me!
