Why My Wife Is More Important to Me Than Our Children

It is said that when children appear in a couple, attention and affection are centralized to the little ones, the care for the partner thus passing into the background.

Well, that doesn't seem to be a clear rule for everyone. Mike is a dedicated father and husband. He decided to share the reasons why he considers his wife to be more important than his children, much to the surprise of many.

Moreover, he believes that this kind of thinking must have any family. Mike and his wife, Jane, are the adoptive parents of eight children. They have been married for 17 years and, as they say, have a very good life because they have adopted a healthy lifestyle.

We invite you to discover below the story of Mike and his wife, but also why his wife is more important than the children!

"Usually, around 20:30, my two teenage daughters announce that they have to go to sleep. At 21:00 I repeat the same story because, obviously, they haven't slept yet.

I do this every night and we argue every time. They say there are no more children and they don't understand why they have to sleep at that hour.

What they don't understand is that I don't send them to bed, I just ask them to leave the living room so that I can spend some time with their mother, whom I haven't seen all day.

My wife and I love our children very much and spend a lot of time with them, but we can't say that we are totally dedicated to them.

It plays a very important role in our lives and they can rely on us at any time, but even so, Jane and I need to make sure that our marriage is strong and healthy, not just our children.

There are many reasons why my wife is more important to me than our children. I will present four of them:

A healthy marriage is the foundation of the home. Children are not the foundation of our family. Yes, of course, they are a big part of it, but they are not the ones who support this structure of our family.

The most important part of the family is the husband and wife because they support everything, all the responsibility is on their shoulders. Children will make their own choices in life based on the examples they receive from their parents.

They need to know how to manage a family and they will not have a clear demonstration if we are not well welded as a couple.

Before, it was just the two of us. Before they existed, it was just the two of us. We fell in love, we spent hours together, we talked on the phone until late at night, and we decided to be together forever.

Then came our wonderful children, whom we love very much, but at the same time, we love each other. Together we are a team.

After they leave, it's just the two of us left. Nothing lasts forever, right? The time will come when all our children will leave their nest, and we will be with each other again.

I wish that when this time came, my wife and I could have the same stable, strong, and sincere relationship. We can't get to this point unless we maintain our relationship all the time. It's not as easy as it sounds, but I assure you it's worth it!

We need to set an example for the future. Children see what we do and learn from us. I want my family to understand what a healthy relationship is and to know how to maintain it.

Today, we can hardly maintain a normal attitude toward what we call "love." I want our union to be an example for my children, I want them to love their husband or wife just as much, even when they have children.

At the end of the day, we are all tired and tense. And yes, your kids need you and they really care. And you should care about them, you should never neglect them. But even so, first, take care of your relationship. When children see that their parents love each other, they are sure that their parents love them too.

My wife and I have a chaotic life because of jobs and eight children. We never have free time because we spend all day with our children. That's why I ask them to go to their rooms at 9 pm every night … because the time spent with the love of my life matters a lot. "
