[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Spouses should ALWAYS come first. Always.[/quote] I might be wrong, but I suspect you're a man. It's generally to men's long-term benefit for spouses to come first, because men are likely to be taken care of by their wives in their later years. It's not so much in women's interest -- men generally (though of course not always) predecease their wives, and their widows are more likely to depend on their adult children in their later years. My grandmother was a widow for 20 years. For 15 of those, she was vigorous and independent, but for the last five, it was my mom who spent a couple hours with her at her nursing home *every single evening* (after working a full-time job during the day). My grandfather, though he was a fine man, certainly wasn't able to do that from the grave.[/quote]
