Spend time to think about the question before answering. Don’t be on your list.
Did your spouse ever ask you to fold the basket of laundry or tidy up after dinner and you promised to do it, but you ended playing video games all night? If it wasn’t a genuine single incident, don’t put your wife above the games you play.
Did your spouse ever ask you not to talk over him in front of your mom or talk about intimate details of your intimate sex lives with your pals? If you didn’t do it to consult with people who you trust to provide marital advice Do not place your spouse over the gossiping of your mother, friends or anyone else.
I believe that a lot of people have other things to do and are ranked higher than their spouses. They don’t want to admit it. They don’t need to. It is easy to see what people are doing.
Prioritizing anything over you and your partner is one of the best methods I’ve found to cause tension and discord in a relationship, which usually results in divorce and nearly all the time, unhappiness for everyone.
Here’s what I believe most married men would put their life things in order (I’m deliberately leaving Faith from the discussion because it can be a distracting and unproductive argument starter – although I believe it’s appropriate to point out that I’ve not had a divorce that resulted from two couples putting God and faith before the marriage):
- Marital Family
- Family of Origin
- Job
- Friends
- Favorite Hobby or Lifestyle Activity
Here’s what I believe most married men prioritize their life Things in accordance with their actions:

I have to be careful about not blaming my ex-wife for our divorce. I receive more comments on my blog and private messages that encourage me to place the blame more heavily on her than I’d like. Every message of this kind tends to indicate that someone isn’t understanding the meaning behind accepting the responsibility for their actions, which will make them feel like a victim whenever something goes wrong throughout their lives until they understand how to turn that around.
However, there are thousands of wives who are reading this site and many have asked for assistance in understanding what kind of behaviors can cause marital damage.
For myself, it was this.
I am sure that my wife put her family’s origins prior to marriage. In the end, she went on to double down by donating all of herself to our son even though there was just a trio of us. I believed I was doing a noble thing by not calling it out. Aside from that, I’d already messed up so badly as an alcoholic husband at that point and there’s no right or fair way to know what her situation would be in the aftermath of childbirth in the event that I had been a smug husband before becoming parents.
What About the Kids? Shouldn’t They Come First?
Nope. It’s not right. As a father who cherishes his son more than everything else on the planet, I have trouble writing this.
It makes my insides twist slightly. It’s how I usually believe something is true the moment it makes me feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Making anyone or something more important than your husband or wife is the easiest method I have found to ruin your family.
In marriage, your spouse is #1 or you’re not doing it right.
I’m not judging. My divorce is largely due to the fact that I put everything but junk over my relationship with my spouse and.
This is only an exercise to think about since I believe that the majority of married couples place at least one thing ahead of their wedding.
Yes, that’s right. It’s also our children. Yes, it includes our families and parents of origin. Yes, the idea is a source of discomfort for me.
It’s true.
“WAIT. Matt. Are you really saying that we should select our spouses and husbands rather than our own children? I’m able to comprehend the parental thing. But what about the children? My kids are first, no matter how !”
Do they really exist?
When we show our children that they’re the most important thing in the world, and when they need our attention they’ll get it and that if they require something, it will be completed by us, but the relationship between dad and mom isn’t top of the list What will happen?
The bad news is that you will get someone who is like me. (Sorry mom.)
Your children believe that they are uniquely unique, even though they’re not.
Your children are raised with a lack of self-sufficiency, and they grow up demanding their parents perform tasks for them, just as their parents would do for them.
Children are raised with no idea of what a loving healthy, high-functioning and healthy harmonious and respectful marriage are like. A marriage of two partners who love each other deeply and preserve their romance and sexual lust by MINDFUL Intention and channeling energy into the person they pledged to honor, love and serve throughout the course all their life.

The Adam and Eve Bible story famously depicts the first marriage. In the Bible story, you’ll see”cleave” as a word “cleave” which describes what we are supposed to do to our spouse.
“cleave,” as in “cleave” means “to adhere to, stick to, or join with.” It’s plausible to conclude that the spiritual text is advocating an imaginary bond of unification between them, and not just promoting the actual procedure of inserting the penis into the vagina. But surely, we should be thankful for both the metaphorical and literal situation.
Don’t Marry Until You’re Ready to Make Her/Him #1
You’ll be helping your girlfriend or boyfriend, as well as their families and friends, as well as your pets or children, and might one day get to share the most huge favor of doing this.
Remember: You don’t need to get married, and perhaps you should not.
If your siblings or parents have more significance for you than your spouse and you’re feeling like you’d pick your siblings over someone you’re contemplating getting married to, do not marry.
If your work, your friends, or the enjoyable activities you enjoy matter more for you than the spouse does, don’t get married.
And, *big swallow* If your children are more important to you than you do to your partner and you think that serving their desires at the expense of your spouse is the best choice If so, then your marriage is ticking like a time bomb. (NOTE This article is written specifically about married parents and fathers who had babies together. I believe it’s acceptable and appropriate for parents who are divorced or otherwise single to put their children first over their partners in the event of uncertainty over whether a marriage will be possible in the future.)
Medical professional Danielle Teller, in “How American Parenting is Killing the American Marriage,” wrote, “Children who are raised to believe they are the only ones in the universe are in for a rough time when their unique status is eroded as they reach the age of adulthood. Perhaps the most alarming thing is that couples who are devoted to their children’s lives are prone to losing connection with one another until they don’t have anything left to talk about once the kids go to their homes… Are you odd the fact that divorce rates have been increasing? most rapidly for empty nesters who are newly married ?”

You’re born to parents. They, along with many siblings, are the only ones you have known and loved.
Family from birth. Love is often an integral part of the family.
If you’re an older person and your offspring are born, you’re the only thing they’ve ever known and cherish. They are their entire world. And the love you feel towards your children’s lives is beyond words.
But still. Family is a given. The affection is very easy. We don’t have to be reminded to show love to our children.
But our spouse. That is a particular and distinctive relationship. It’s not something that can be something that can be passed down from generation to generation. It’s not a pre-packaged item that comes when you marry or date, just as it is when you are born into a family or have children of your own.
Your spouse is the person you pick. From every single human being, billions of them — you pick the person you like.
It’s a passion that’s as strong and rich as that we share with our children and parents however, it’s one that has grown. A thing that is completely voluntarist.
We make a choice about love every day. need to make every day.
As time passes, more and more people are beginning to see this, however often it is when their marriage is in disarray and they’re trying to determine why or as a result of a difficult divorce.
I was unsure of what it meant to be married when I asked my girlfriend to marry me or when I declared “I do.” The evidence is in the pudding.
If more people were with the intention of prioritizing their spouse and the reasons why this is such an important concept I’m sure more marriages could go to the end because they’d never suffer at least not in the beginning.
You show respect to your parents by putting the needs of your partner first. You comfort them as they know that you’re secure and secure and their children are well-taken care of.
You are a good example to your children by putting you and your husband prior to your spouse. You teach them that they are, in reality not the center of the universe. You teach them the most effective way to live life is to be mindful of the needs of others. They learn what the ideal marriage looks like. You offer a secure and secure home. You give them a solid foundation to create their future.
You’re a great example of self-respect by putting your partner first. Since you’re doing something more than yourself, you are more likely to live a long life with mouth herpes.
Your parents will pass you by one day. It’s going to be difficult. You’ll be able to carry on because your spouse always comes first, and he or she will support you through the pain and change. You’ll offer the same assistance to your spouse or to him.
Your children will leave home in the near future. It’s going to be a difficult time. But you’ll persevere because your spouse always comes first. He or she will help you through the biggest change in your life. You’ll provide the same amount of support to your spouse or partner.
And then you’ll and there you’ll. In the near future. Every day, I wake up looking for the purpose of life and excitement.
If we’ve been putting our spouse for a long time first, we don’t need to do a lot of searching to find anyone else.
