Isn't the basis of the family unit the relationship between husband and wife?
Thank you ...

he might be seeking the relationship he was missing from his own parents.

It is fairly difficult to ascertain what's actually going on, but I think a man should hold interest in both his wife and his children. Because the nature of those relationships differ, then the way he responds and interacts with them will also be different. Perhaps it only seems like this man is favoring his kids, when in fact you are viewing it as an observer and are not on the inside. I do believe that children should see their parents show love and open affection for each other. There also should be definite boundaries that are set as to how much time he will spend with his kids, i.e., not catering to their every whim and making them believe he is at their beckon call. Kids should understand and respect the relationship between their parents and know when it is simply time for Dad to spend alone time with Mom. I do agree with you completely, that the basis of the family is the relationship between a man and woman. The kids will relate to and respond to their love and strength, or not...

You need to strike a balance. Set aside time for just you and him- get a babysitter and go out once a week and make it a rule not talk about the kids. Other times you can find things to do as a family unit that you can all do. Sit down and a play family board games, or all go to the park. And when daddy is have time with the children be glad for some space and do what you want or need to. Make sure too that you have time alone with the kids and do interesting things to give dad space- this way the kids will love doing things with both of you.

No, a family needs to have children before it can be classed as a family, otherwise it is just a relationship.
Plus since children are genuinely loving, caring, open and trusting, whereas some women are selfish, self centred, liars and can't be trusted, it is small wonder a man would be more interested in his children rather than a negative or self obsessed wife.

My husband adores his little girls and the first things he does is play and talk to them.. They are almost 5 and 2 1/2 year old. And they want to be with Daddy too. He has had cancer and we lost 5 babies before the two girls so every minute is special. We have been married 21 years next Saturday. I think he lost interest in me but really I just appreciate him being here. We are now in the quiet time of our lives.

He was obviously interested in his wife because they have children. Maybe he is trying to make up for lost time with them.

I think you should be more interested in your children anyway especially when they are small, you have and build and still have a relationship with your spouse but the children should always be first

If they are children from a previous marraige it is just a fact,and if it's the case w/you(being the new wife),you need therapy so you do not become a wicked stepmother.
You have to just accept him and his kids,or move on.
