Parents are natural guardians over their children. This is not just a legal term, this describes your obligation. If you would passively allow your partner to damage your children through their destructive behavior, you are just as much to blame for the damage as your partner.

@MrsBrometheus and I are 100% committed to each other as husband and wife, and to encouraging the other toward salvation. But we also have a pact to halt or destroy the other as necessary to protect our children if one of us becomes destructive to the kids.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
There are clear lines she would never tolerate me crossing with her or the children. She would do whatever was necessary, up to and including putting a bullet in my brain, in order to protect the children from me. And I have sworn to do exactly the same. That’s parenthood.

Anyone who’d put their partner first is not being loving or compassionate to the partner. No parent in their right mind would be grateful that you left their children in harm’s way for the parent’s sake. If you love your partner, protect your children first.

Being a parent means being prepared to kill or die in defense of your children. That includes guarding against your spouse. Do whatever is necessary to stop them from harming the children. Do whatever is necessary to prevent yourself from harming or allowing them to be harmed.

But jokes asied, I do believe this is a sentiment not really voiced much these days. On the surface it sounds obvious, but it can be less so in real life. However, you can't always be held accountable for the actions of others. But apart from extreme cases, I agree with you.

By the way, I once listened to a sermon that came to this from the other way, saying that it is too often that parents put the children (unheathily) before their spouse.

He used a very exaggerated example saying if he had to choose from saving his kids or his wife, he believes he would have to save his wife rather. As he is "one flesh" with his wife, which is in a way, a more important relationship and responsibility.

Obviously he was talking out against an other extreme, where marriages are ruined bc kids are spoiled and parents don't keep time for each other. (though hopefully these kinds of extreme situations will never be a reality for anyone)

I agree. It’s a careful balance. You are one flesh with your spouse and you also must present a united front when parenting. But when it comes to safety, kids take priority.

I think it would also teach respect and patience. As in "I am not the center of the world, my parents come first, then me."
