Most important person in life

When our children are young our world revolves around them, in that bargain we forget to tend to our spouse, we forget to take care of each other's little wants of life. We start overlooking all those little things and in the bargain the relationship also starts fading. And when our children grow up and get on their paths there is a sudden emptiness we feel in our lives, even though with our spouse around we feel lonely.

I believe that our spouse is the most important person in our life. When children come into our life, they do take priority but in that one must not start neglecting their spouse and lose the spark in the relationship. Our spouse should always be our priority. One must take care of one's parents, children, siblings, jobs and all the responsibilities of life but in the bargain never sideline their partner.

By writing this it's not that I am facing any challenges in my life either with my partner or my child. Rather it is my husband who has taught me this right from the beginning of our marriage. When my son was born, he became the center of my world, everything was around him and my hubby never stopped me. At the same time, he always insisted that we had our quality time also. We would go on a holiday once a year, just 2 of us leaving my son behind with my mother-in-law, and she was a very kind lady, she also encouraged us to do this. Though in that time, I was not very happy because I would feel very guilty of leaving my son behind.
