Do you find that you love your children more deeply than your spouse? I find this tendency to be more prevalent in women, who I often hear claim to love their children more than their husband. Please let me know if you do/don't. And if you don't mind, please state your gender and age. I appreciate it.

It's different types of love for me, just an hypothesis, if my child fall into the river with my husband, I would want to save my child life, and if my husband drowns, I'll then jump in to die with him

I love them both differently. I love my children with a fierce protective love. My children had no choice in their creation. When I look at them I feel a connection that can't be broken or denied. They lived inside me once. A husband or a wife has the power to really hurt their spouse or help their spouse. Right now we're working on issues. Before, I would have swum through lava for him. Still probably would, but now I'd fish out the kids first. I know this isn't right but that's how it is right now. 30's female

I am a 24 yr old female with 2 kids and I believe that it really is a different love that you have for your kids and your husband. My husband is my best friend and confidant. It is hard to say exactly what the difference between the two are but their is a difference. My children are my world and I love them both equally the same.

It's just a different kind of love. I love my husband, I have known him for 10 years most of my adult life. We have a very deep love. But my son is a human being we CHOSE to bring into this world so I am indebted to him in a way that I'm not to my husband. I am F/30. I would give anything for either one of them. I am however an anomaly because divorce will not happen to me. I knew I would only marry once, so I chose wisely. These days spouses come and go so most people love their kids more because of that.

I love both deeply, if there was a dangerous situation, I would make sure to save my kids and spouse before myself. No, I don't love my child more than my husband, I love them both.
I'm 38, I have 3 boys, 17, 14 and 13.

I am a 29 year old female. I think as a parent that I don't love them more deeply, but in a different way. I love my children unconditionally. Even if they did something horrible, I would still love them. I love my husband, but if he cheated on me(which in a parent child situation doesn't happen), I would leave him. Partners choose each other. You don't choose your children, you create them, they didn't ask to be born.

female in my 30' s 4 daughters.
I love my husband in a completely different way that I love my children. My children will always be my top my priority, and they will always come first, in my life, (if I ever had to chose my husband or my children). However, we don't let the kids play us against each other, because in 30 years from now it wont be kids setting on my porch with me discussing our past it will be my husband.

I am a wife/mother and I am 29. I don't love my children more or less than my husband I love them different though. My husband is my lover and friend for life without him our children wouldn't even exist. My children are an extension of our love, they bring joy to our lives everyday.

Well I am a 30 year old female mom of 4. I do love my kids as deeply as I love my hubby, but on a different level(obviously). I would not be able to pick between them.

You can't love your kids or spouse more than the other, you just love them different. The love for your kids is intrinsic, this means that just because the fact that they are your kids (an extension of yourself) you love them, it's an unconditional love. Contrarily to this, you choose to love your spouse and the love that you have for each other can either grow or diminish.
