Is it possible for a man to love his wife without sacrificing the love he has for his mother?

Sure it's possible to love both women in different ways. But a husband should remember that when he got married, these verses apply to his life now.\n\nTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.  Genesis 2:24 \n\nIn other words, his wife should be the primary focus of his love and he should...\n\nIn the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,  Ephesians 5:28-29

Unfortunately (considering the circumstances) yes.  you never love the same way twice.  So you can love one person very much, and another person just as much, but love them differently and for different reasons.

Agree with machelle. This is true love, from the wife -- unconditional, but probably also for the financial security, social acceptance, for the kids etc. All very good reasons to stick together. Plus probably a deep understanding of who he is. He won't leave her because that depth of guilt generates such a huge debt of gratitude. As long as he treats her with reasonable respect and dignity, she will stay, and as long as she is reasonably tolerant, he will stay.

I would say yes, Why not.!  i mean you can love your partner and your kids etc so why not another man.  Your only problem would be if you had to choose between them.

Not besides surgery, if you love your wife you should love her just the way she is and not want to change anything about her, expecially her breasts, that seems so uncaring and selfish!

Hey listen up Bro. I am a black man and I am in love with an asian woman that I met over 2 years ago. I am 37 yrs. old and I have been around the world and seen a lot.\nI have been blessed to find a sincere,loyal,humble,smart and charming beautiful asian woman who is all about me. Trust me, she is a good girl. The kind that you want to bring home to mom.\nShe has shunned away from jealous and evil folks that try to give her evil advice. She will not let ANYONE destroy our love for each other. We both found true love and don't care who don't like it. We have one child and another on the way. We enjoy building a family. I believe God put us together because my love for her is growing sweeter and she feels the same way toward me. I am Happy with this. Go for it. Don't worry about people. Let them die jealous. Last but not least, she is now my Wife and I hold my head up with dignity.

Yes this is true. A man wants a woman, not just like his mother, but someone who can privide certain things like how his mother did, cooking. Nice home cooked meals to look forward to. You are nourishing him with something you put together. So you can say its food for the soul and your souls are connected, if you want to look at it in that spiritual way.

your love for your spouse and your love for your parents is a different kind of love ,or atleast should be, so you can't really say which one is deeper

Yeah, I would pretty much say so.\nOf course I'm no expert or anything, but anyone that has romantic feeling toward their mother has to have some serious problems.

In my opinion, one should not follow a strict rule on whom he should follow or not.\n\nThe only criteria shall be to have his head firmly in control and the guts to say to both that right is right and wrong is wrong. No hanky panky here.\n\nI, however, personly give more credit to my mother than wife becasue they have taken care of me to bring me to a level where I could marry my present wife.\n\nSo definitely, a person should be thankful to their parents and ultimately should know what is right and wrong and be able to convey that to both of them as well.

To the best of my understanding, Christians (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant) teach that Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience, making him unique in this respect. So it is only natural to conclude that he loved his mother more perfectly than any son ever loved their mother.

No, a man is to love his wife as Jesus loved the Church, and a woman is to submit herself to her husband.\n\nThe husband is the head of hte household. He should not be submissive, except unto the Lord.

From a personal point of view, I couldnt see it possible...in lust maybe but not in love. I think mostly it would depend on the persons involved!! Sounds like loadsa fun tho! ;o)

I think it is possible.  When I first met my wife, I fell head over heels in love with her.  She is everything to me and I want nothing else and nobody else.  She is a treasure.  I'm sure that, at some point in your life, you will find someone you feel the same about and will feel that way about you.  Hang in there!

Yes, get a dog. I don't really think that there ever was unconditional love between a man and woman maybe a mother and child. A tough question.

Sure there are.  There's a love a mother and father have for their children, then there's a love you have for a good friend, then for your neighbor, then most important is the love that you have for your husband or wife.
