Husband or children? How to deal with the need for attention from both

After the first child is born, none relationship it's the same. This discussion, very common a few years ago, seems to be lagging behind as a woman's life (financially and emotionally) becomes more independent of her husband.

In the society in which our grandparents and even our mothers lived, it was only natural that the subject would come up whenever marriage was mentioned and its relation to the factor "children". This is because, scientifically proven fact, the man in general is jealous of children and the relationship of intimacy and unconditional affection that develops between them and the mother.

If this view seems a bit chauvinistic to most in the face of recent female achievements in society, it should be noted that knowing divide attention between children and husband It may be the missing detail not to set off your relationship.


Research by a social networking site shows that half of the subject matter experts agree with the premise that when making decisions, a wife should prioritize her husband, not her children. One of them states: “The relationship between husband and wife is a life commitment, as is the relationship between parents and children.

However, the parent's responsibility is to raise the child and to teach the child moral values ​​and responsibilities so that the child can take care of himself or herself as an adult.

Therefore, the relationship between husband and wife has priority over parent-child relationship as long as children are well cared for?


Unreasonable? Not so, if we think that, in fact, children are raised for their survival in society and will eventually end up leaving their parents' house sooner or later. Cultivating the relationship between husband and wife, overlapping the relationship between parents and children, is thus a way of prioritizing possible company in the future when children are already taking care of their own lives.

But how to achieve this goal without neglecting the care and, above all, the love that children demand? The answer is simple: splitting tasks. It is up to the mother to allow the father to participate actively in the education of children, leaving aside maternal pride. It is not easy, but it is rewarding: as women abstain from the role of sole and sovereign guardian of their children, does the couple have the opportunity to discuss fundamental issues concerning them? This closeness eventually makes the relationship more intimate and in tune.

A woman who knows how to give her equal attention to her children and husband is earning a healthier marriage.
