Wrong priority. God first, wife second, children third and self last!!
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Wrong answer! God first, children second, and then us. We have both chosen to put our children's needs ahead of our own. What parent wouldn't make sacrifices for their children? Our marriage is plenty strong and we will have plenty of time to focus just on each other once we get these chidrens grown and out of the house.
Well 1399, I appreciate your feelings for your future wife. I'm sure she will too!!!
I do believe your opinion will probably change a bit when you hold that tiny infant in your arms and know he or she is completely dependant upon you.
The love in your heart will overflow and you'll never be able to understand it.
It's a feeling like no other feeling, not even falling in love with your spouse.
I still get choked up when I think about the day my oldest was born. The love that was flowing from my heart because of my newborn son was so overwhelming, words could never desribe the feeling. It was a feeling that I didn't expect. Now that boy will be 13 this December, Doesn't seem like he should be that old already.
My then wife and I discussed what I would do if I was put into a position where I had to choose between the life of my wife or my son. My then wife got a lot of comfort from the assurance that I would choose the life of my child every time, she wouldn't have it any other way.

True. That's how we look at it. We got into a bad car accident a few years ago. Immediately after it happened my wife and I smelled raw gasoline. We looked at each and both said, "Get the kids out of the car" at the same time. My son followed his mom out the door, she got the baby out of car seat in the back seat, and I was busy freeing our oldest daughter. Never once did it cross our minds that the car could have caught fire and killed either me or her. All we were thinking about were the children.

Mothers heart. Anything less and there would have to be something wrong.

Oh yeah... there is just nothing that trumps the love for your child.
That said, when it comes to living, we must take times for our spouses of course. Making sure there is time without the children, to cultivate the relationship. But when it comes down to saving a life, my children are going to come first, everytime.

True. Me and the wife are overdue for a few days just to ourselves.

We are too! Lord willing a trip is planned mid-August.
I would say "I can't wait..." but I can. I looked at the boys the other day and realized I wanted to stop time, or at least slow it down. It's flying way too fast.

What's funny is the last time we left the kids with someone for a few days all we could talk about is how we missed the kids.
I know. It's kinda pathetic how they wrap us around thier baby fingers with one smile.
I'm gonna miss them when they're gone, but me and wife are looking forward to it being just us eventually. There's lots we'd like to be able to do but simply can't because they are still at home. First thing on the list is to buy a motorcycle and spend our weekends taking road trips, assuming we both aren't too old and suffering from arthritis and dementia by the time we get 'em grown.
