[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised that husbands also don't love their kids more than they love their wives.  Why do they love their wives more than their kids?[/quote]

Men marry to have wives; women marry to have families.  When this plays out over decades, it leads to a very asymmetric kind of marriage.   For men, while you obviously love your children, your wife remains "first among equals" in your heart. For most women, it seems, the husband drops into a second-tier place.  [/quote]

Maybe you are confused by how women show love.  Women don't show love by treating you like a child.  Children need to be waited on, protected, trained, encouraged.  But a man?  I think women think a man needs faithfulness, a clean home, well-raised children, and especially her respect to feel loved.  Surely a man doesn't want a woman to treat him like a child?  Surely that isn't what he expects her love to look like?  I guess a woman assumes that a real man would love her all the more if she saved the kids before him, that he would be proud to die for the family (they would give each other a long loving glance, and then do what they know needs to be done, in total romantic love...)[/quote]
