[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
I am religious and think your pastor is WRONG.
That is a ridiculous hypothetical to pose as an indication of the covenant you made in Your marriage.
How stupid that people even compare love of a child to love of an adult.
Thst just shows what an immature and narrow view of love those people have.

I've heard of other pastors using that same sort of logic and I have never heard any parent say that they would sacrifice their child's life in order to save their own life or the life of their spouse.    That would just be totally contrary to our (God given) parental instincts.   I don't think it's supposed to be taken in a literal sense.

I think it used to be that way. I mean back then people used to put their spouse first and that is how  I  believe humanity survived. [/quote]

Back when?  And where?  Marriage as a social institution hasn't existed everywhere and at all times.

I think the love for your children is totally different from the love for your spouse.  For me, they occupy different parts of my heart.  The relationship is totally different--the child is dependent on you, your husband should be your equal.  [/quote]
