Can a husband love his wife more than his mother?

Answer 1

God says: " When a Man finds a Wife, He finds a Good Thing" and also " A man is to leave His Father and Mother, and Cling to His Wife." > Sounds like God favors the Wife after marriage. And we know God is very fair. >> The first thing He Instituded on earth was MARRIAGE. He loves a Harmonious Marriage>/../../ ( But, you most certainly can still love mother. If you know GOD, you will have enough love for both. GOD IS LOVE.

Answer 2

They are vary different types of love but equally powerful. What often happens is that the husband is torn between loyalty to the mother or to the wife especially in cases where the two women do not get along. There is often a competition for the son's/ husband's loyalty and the man is in a no win situation.

Answer 3

A husbands love for his wife is nothing like his love for his mother. Although it may appear that he loves his wife more, (and he very well might) doesnt mean that he loves his mother any less. Also, the love for your spouse is expressed completely differently then the love for his mother which is why it seems that sometimes they will appear to love one more than the other.

It is possible but deep down he will love both

Answer 4

Those are two different kinds of love. I wouldn't want to be with someone that doesn't love his mom, but when you're married you need to break away from your mom and move towards your wife and start your own family. But it is possible, it kind depend on the mother and the wife.

Answer 5

there should be a different love. i think think they should both be equally loved. equally appreciated but both have a distinct place. i think that a man should stand up for his wife against his mom if they are in conflict. i don't think a mom has a right to get between a couple. if a mom is sick and needs care them possibly or probably(as the sitation warrants) the wife should let the husband do as he pleases with his mom whether move a little closer to mom or mom move closer or go visit mom more or have her move in with them or put her in a care home...but the husband should not let a mom tell him what to or not to do concerning his wife. i think a wife's word or desires should usually be above a mom's but always honor and care for your mom. a wife needs to care about her husbands needs and desires concerning his mother too tho. she needs to let him do as he sees best but a husband should not be walked on top of by his mom or wife.

Answer 6

Of course! That's the point. A husband and wife should love each other more than any other people in their lives, even their moms.

Answer 7

Well I don't know about that! My husband was (he passed away 2 year ago) completely devoted to me and our children - but I have to admit that his Mom did squeak by all of us in that area. She didn't go over the top with this - which made everything very congenial and she and I still have a wonderful relationship. A man and his mother is a very tight bond!

Answer 8

Yes, especially if the mother has treated the her son (husband to the wife) poorly or they've had an argument over something.

Answer 9

Yes. My husband doesn't really like his mother as..she was never a "mother" to him. My mom is more of a mother to him in the last 2 years than his own in the last 22 years.

But there is some males, like my brother, who is a mama's boy and admits it. He is capable of loving and not being the "typical mama's boy", but makes it clear he respects his mom and likes to call her and go see her often.

Answer 10

Yes and no. He sleeps with his wife, his mother raised him and his mother doesn't have sex or sleep with him. So it's not surprising he is closer to his wife. Love for wife and mother is different. Can't compare.
