Today we\u2019re discussing the hot topic of whether your children or spouse should come first and we\u2019ll be talking about our journey to switching to our philosophy and the reasons for the change. Many people believe that they should put their children first and prioritise them over their spouse, but we explain why it\u2019s important to keep your spouse as your number one priority, one reason being to set an example for your kids. Some people give up when things get tough in their marriage, but every relationship requires work, even two people who get along amazingly well still need to put a lot of effort into a marriage to keep it alive.

\u201cSometimes you\u2019re with the wrong person and you will never be able to make that relationship work and the hard part for you will be the decision to leave to give you the space to actually meet the person that maybe you could be that example in front of your kids with. And that\u2019s a really tough one as well.\u201d 9:36
