@shawnmcbridespeaks74: If you are married, your children should not be the primary focus of your relationship. Your marriage must be. No, I’m not saying neglect your kids. I’m saying prioritize your marriage. Because when the marriage is healthy, the home is stable. When the marriage breaks down, the whole house feels it. If you keep putting your kids before your spouse, you’re slowly teaching them that love doesn’t last — and that’s not the lesson they need. 🎯 Subscribe to CouplesGrowthSkool.com to hear the rest of this conversation and learn how to rebuild connection, balance, and partnership in your home. #MarriageMatters #CouplesGrowthSkool #ShawnMcBrideTherapy

Yes, they will, but a spouse comes and goes. Let’s not forget that. Nothing is guaranteed. You will never stop being a parent though. It’s called boundaries!

Soooo many couples don't understand the correct order!
1. Jesus
2. Spouse
3. Children
4. Everybody else
Your spouse should never drop from the #2 spot!

People will never get this. They think it means neglecting the kids when you say this and that’s not the case. If the adults in the house are right and right, it automatic that the kids will be taken care of and it shows the kids a healthy functional relationship.

My children were my priority in my previous marriage because I didn't care to loose him. But with my current marriage my spouse is my priority because we love and want to maintain our marriage. My children are important but not priority! And we are doing amazing!

I put my spouse first, not because my kids get neglected. But my wife was here first and will be here when my kids are gone. Me and my wife love our little girls.. but I’m not going to neglect my wife and my marriage just because there is children. DATE YOUR WIFE EVEN AFTER YOU ARE MARRIED

Yes! As a grown adult I get why my parents divorced. Yes the relationship between you and your husband comes first before your kids. If mother's get offended then your the problem. Showing kids that its okay to have kids live in a environment that isn't healthy. Sorry but my husband and I agree with this. 100%

The man is right. And it’s the fact that others will still deny this and they do this because of a few things. They are the problem spouse in the marriage and won’t acknowledge it. Or they are with the wrong person to begin with to simply state that your spouse will come and go. Bottom line is your spouse is supposed to be til death. Your children are temporary and will move out start their own families and their spouses will be above you as the parents and their kids just like you should be. And people don’t understand this point. When your spouse is #1, the marriage is strong. Your kids will fall into place and have the role models needed to be successful in their own future relationships.

Why can’t it be both?!! I never understood this logic, you need to put energy in your relationship just as much as your kids

My children are the only people in the entire world who haven't broken my heart.
Out of 8 Billion people in the world....All I have are my children who love me as much as I love them......The only thing I am proud of in my life is showing my kids how to love unconditionally with every fiber of my being will be poured into my children.....Because I have poured myself into my husband and I have been left cold and lonely....I am still married after 16 years but I refuse to give more...

It’s also a good example to teach the children how love and functional relationships work… it’s the order of things. When you understand this you have to agree!!
