Question for married people?

Suppose you both give each other your partner top priority in your life. Will you eventually be happy and fulfilled?

Example of top priority :
1. Husband doesn't attent urgent work meeting because wife needs him.
2. Wife stops attending children because husband needs her

Stuff like that.

Spouses are supposed to be one another's TOP priority, but if missing that work meeting means husband is going to lose his job (and therefore not be able to support the family), the wife should understand that and the husband should go to work.

As far as kids go, both spouses have a responsibility to support the children financially and emotionally, but if you make the kids a priority over one another (like ignoring your spouse's needs because you're busy waiting hand and foot on your kids when they are at an age where they can do those things for themselves), that's wrong and your marriage will probably fall apart.

All of this should be common sense but I see sooooo many people making all the wrong choices in their marriages.
