Is it unreasonable to think spouse should be loved as much as child?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) September 9th, 2013 from iPhone

I’m not a mother or married but it seems like most women show a lot of affection and love to their child and never their spouse vice versa. Don’t get me wrong, I believe you should love your child, protect, and put them first because its only natural and the right thing to do so since they depend on you but I don’t think that it’s okay to forget about your relationship and stop.

Maybe it’s just me? I see some couples who successfully show love equally making both the children and spouse feel special and loved and not just one sided.

I can’t help but think its wrong to love one person more than the other and choose in that way. It seems a lot of women say they love their child way more which is understandable but could also be somewhat hurtful to the spouse too? Maybe I’m just too young to understand?

Opinions?
