While men usually love their wives more ?
I saw it in a ted talk by a woman who researched love with mri scans Research has also shown that men take way longer to fall out of love in the occurrence of a break up, while it happens much faster in women what does mri scans mean: they've shown a number of husbands and wives pictures of their partners and children and looked at the reactions ^^ |

| I love my kids more than I love my husband. I can replace him, the kids I can't. |

I know for fact my wife loves the kids more than me.
In fact, she loves her job more, her friends more and the dogs more. I think I am #5 and holding on by a string.. |

| We've had this debate before. It's a different love. I love and lust for my husband. He will be there once the kids we love are out of the nest. He is amazing and makes me a better person. |

| I was thinking about this today. I really love my 2 month old child. I really love my husband. I do not think I can rank these loves - I feel like I love both of them in different ways but at a maximum level. |

| I definitely love my children more than my husband. They are more mature than he is and probably will ever be since he is already. 47. |

| My husband doesn't deserve my love. My kids do. |

Good answer! and so true. OP, I think this topic has been covered if you search the archives. |

I think those women who think that way don't really love their husband at all. |

I think it is definately true
Today, not even three years after our wedding, I woke up in bed alone. Again. My wife, Susan, has slipped out to breast-feed our 2 years -old son, Jackson. Curled up with him on the extra bed in the nursery, she often falls asleep there. Which means she's not coming back to me. I know in my heart that my wife loves me. But could she actually love someone else even more? At first, I thought, Who could honestly complain about this? A newborn needs and deserves all the attention you can give. In the beginning, I was eager to do every small task to make my wife, to make them, more comfortable, from fetching the bunny blanket to doing diaper duty. But lately, I've been feeling like my role has been reduced to being the family Jeeves. What about my needs? When I encountered rival suitors during my dating years, I knew my best chance involved removing the other man from the equation. So I invited my wife out to dinner. Alone. Cagily, she professed to look forward to it. "Just us," I think she said. No sooner had we sat down at a nearby trattoria and drawn the napkins across our laps than it became clear there was no "just us," and there might never be again. "Would you call the sitter, see if he's okay?" Susan asked. "We just left him five minutes ago," I pleaded over the glasses of wine we hadn't yet tasted. "I'm sure he's fine." "But I miss him," Susan said. I knew there was no reasoning with that. Love is love. Soon after our entries arrived, she confessed that she wanted to get home to tuck him in. I paddleboated the plate of fusilli alla verdura into my mouth to keep up with her pacing, and we dashed home. Alas, alas! He was already asleep, and I made my move. "Let's go to bed," I said, and, after coaxing her there, complimented her lingerie: a nursing bra. "Those snaps in the front are very convenient," I joked. But I knew this convenience had nothing to do with me. Not only has my son taken control of my wife's every thought, he has enforced his presence on every inch of her body My many friends told me the same thing they are experiencing. What baffled me was not their stories, but how unfazed they were by their emotional abandonment, as if they were, unlike me, resigned to the fact that they could never be as important as the kids. What's more, they warned me that talking about it with my wife would only make things worse, that my feelings of dissatisfaction or loneliness would only be belittled or lampooned. Of course, I had to learn the hard way. There's no changing it. For the foreseeable future, in my wife's eyes, Jackson comes first. I come second. So who am I miffed at -- Jackson? Of course not. He's just being a toddler, and I love him. Susan? Well, maybe a little. . And Maybe over time I'll learn that my situation's not so bad. I begun to take my eyes off . Sorry for the long post OP but I wanted to share this. And that TED talk and mri scan are interesting. |

| Hahahahaha PP. It's instinct and propagating the species. Women are focused on their offspring to increase the chances of its survival. Men are focused on increasing their own chances of passing on their genes. |

Yes I love my kids more. Moreover if we were all drowning and dh saved me instead of the kids I would never forgive him. |

| I love both my husband and my kids but it's a different kind of love. I loved my husband before kids but what a great dad he is to our children only makes me love him more. |

The difference is, your kids will leave you. Your husband won't. Unless, of course, you neglect him. |
