Are you kidding? Love them equally. If there's some strange situation where you have to take the side of one and go against the other, try to do so in a way that will show each person that you love them both greatly.
You can't really gauge parental and spousal love together - as they are so much different.

the love to parents is different then the love to a spouse.

No- you have to put your spouse first.
If you DO love your parents more than your spouse, then maybe your spouse is not "the one." Too late to do anything about it now, but you should always side on the side of your spouse.

No, your spouse is your first responsibility after the love of God. Because of your marriage promise. Then your children and then your parents because they, in cooperation with God, gave you life.

Yes. Your parents gave you life. They sacrificed everything to bring you up. They looked out for you no matter what and feel true love for you. You husband will never be able to fulfill this because he did not give you life. I know there are cavemen out there who would like to believe that a woman is breathing because they give her permission to, but that's not the case. I am a muslim, and in the Quran it says to honor your parents, most importantly your mother. It says she gave birth to you in weakness upon weakness and sacrificed herself to bring you up when you were weak. Nobody can love you like your parents. Your parents will always be there for you no matter what they say because they have that bond.

If you are going to voluntarily take a spouse, they become the most important thing in your life. Both of you should strive to make each others life as good as possible.

How can you measure love?
It has flavors depending on the person - paternal/maternal, romantic, etc, etc.
If you really felt and investigated love, you would see that there is love or there is not - there is no more or less in what love is.

No, you should forget them and love god. They'll end up burning in hell anyways, so you'll have no memory of them when you get to heaven.
