Is this how people can have more than 1 spouse? I mean a person can love more than 1 child so why not more than 1 person?

I think with children it is different. It is a new love that is born together with the child.
Persons that maintain a romantic relationship with more than one partner, are not truly in love with either of them. They are not giving themselves entirely to one and have emotional problems or a sexual addiction. Besides they are in almost all cases pathological liars and withhold the truth from the persons involved. I don't think to any women it would be acceptable to share her lover with another, so the guy lies and tells each she is the only one.
In some cases it is a social or religious factor, but also then women accept this circumstance because they are weak, indoctrinated or simply afraid.
I am in love with one person at a time always. If I have feelings for another... time to move on.

I think it is possible to love more than one person at a time but it is not the kind of love that makes a marriage. Real married love , the kind that lasts and grows over the years is a mixture of passion and respect, laughter and tears and sharing the ups and downs of job losses, deaths, children, getting fat and out of shape, and not even caring about the wrinkles or unsteady steps along the way. No one has the time or energy to try and deliver that or accept that from more than one person at a time. If you can't deliver that, then it isn't really love at all.

The love for a child is totally different than the love for a spouse. The love for a child is a nurturing kind of love that a parent haves or should have for all his/her children. The love for your spouse should be one where you feel you are one with each other.

People may think they love them equally.
Then they have to make a choice and usually feel like they made the wrong choice, so they try to get the other one back.
Let's suffice it to say that true love includes mutual respect and a deep honesty that is far removed from any other love ever known.
I thought I loved two people equally before, turns out I cared for both of them and needed them both to make me feel like all of my needs were being met.
Now I know love. I married with love, had children with love, and continue to be awed by all that love can conquer.
I hope you find love in your time, at your own pace.

i cant figure out how you can love equally.
since every human is unique we would love each person in different ways...
saying that - you then have to classify love - the difference between the show of affection you give a child and the affection you give your partner are not the same...and this tends to be the most probromatic area when discussing such theorys

No. And I add..it is immature to believe it is possible. To believe it is posible..means the one who wants to believe such a thing ..is too TOO immature to understand the attention needed to focus on ONE relationship at a time and sustain it over many years.
People who are too immature to marry.. should NOT do so. To subject ones children or spouse to such abuse as ( I thought I loved you but I was wrong ) is disgusting in an adult and from a crybaby level. ( aka age three or so ) ONLY fully grown adults who understand the value of the lives of others.. should marry anyone else.

I think it's definitely possible to love two (or more!) people at the same time. I have!
But, equally...? How do you measure that? I think every relationship is unique--you don't love any two people in exactly the same way. It's apples and oranges--you can't compare them that way.

You need to be locked up if you can't distinguish between love for a spouse and love for a child.

I don't how you can love 2 people "equally." I've heard of the difference of being "in love", and just plain old "love". Being "in love", i can't imagine wanting to even go out and finding another to be in love with. You could "love" your partner, but not be "in love" with them, resulting in finding another to fit that kind of love. So at that point, you would have 2 people you'd say i love you to, but they are different kinds of love. But you could classify it as loving 2 people at the same time.

No, i don't believe it is possible to love two people at the same time at least not the kind of love your talking about. And as far as your kids goes there is no comparison that is just plan stupid your talking about apples and oranges.
