Should your spouse or child come first?
Your spouse has to come first; always. So when your kids move out, you and your spouse will either still have the great marriage you've built in spite of your kids, or you'll have to figure out what your marriage is now without them.
Why your spouse should come before your child?
In the article the author, John Rosemond, suggests that parents have to put their marriage first because they are the foundation of the family unit, and "their kids exist because of them and their marriage and thrive because they have created a stable family."
Should your spouse be your first priority?
Make Marriage a Top Priority Putting your spouse first means considering his or her needs before making decisions that affect the entire household. While it may be difficult for everyone to grasp at first, making marriage the top priority in your life has nothing to do with levels of love.
How do you know when your marriage is really over?
Your relationship leaves you constantly feeling drained. Even if you're not constantly fighting, that doesn't mean your relationship can't leave you feeling utterly depleted. If every second you spend with your spouse makes you feel emotionally and physically drained, that's one of the signs your marriage is over.
