[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to a pastor once....He asked me, "If your child was drowning, and your husband (or wife) was drowning, and you are only able to save one, who would you save?" No hesitation, I said my child. He said wrong answer. WTF I thought? He then explained, that your husband/wife would be there for you when you are old, and when your children are gone. We raise our children to be independent and to leave our nest but not our spouse. We made vows before God to provide and protect our spouse. I still don't get it (I am not religious by any means) but just something to think about since it is on topic. [/quote]

This came up long ago in our Pre Cana pre-marital counseling.  Back then it was: You are jumping out of a plane with your Mom and your fiancée but only have 2 parachutes. Who gets the 2 parachutes? 
My husband said his Mom and me. 
Wrong answer, it is the husband and wife.  That is above your parents, whom you are leaving and will presumably outlive.  That is in the bible. Not sure on kids versus spouse but makes sense I guess.

BTW, if I was the old mom on that plane I would force those parachutes onto my adult child and his spouse. My goal is to raise healthy, independent, smart and kid adults who can go off on their own and have a life. [/quote]
