If we live long enough each person will have to look the beast in the face. Is it fair to expect family members to sacrifice their lives for us when we get old? After all, there is only one outcome. Of course you should take care of your spouse because you took an oath to do so but you did not take such an oath for anyone else.
By keeping up to their faith on me. Like I am taking care of them when they have become old. They had faith on me that I will take care of them in old age.

You necessarily need not to sacrifice your life to take care of your parents. Many people do that happily without any issues. It may not be part of your family and culture, but it's a part of my family and culture.
Moreover this argument of yours doesn't make any point. Apart from my parents and spouse, I can be faithful to my employer also.

Being faithful mean that you always come to the expectations of their faith on you. It is not related to your faith on them. For example a dog is faithful to you, you can have faith on your god that he will try to protect your house when you are not there in the house. And they keep up your faith by protecting the way they can.
It's not about they having faith on you, like you will give him timely to eat something. A cat, rat can also have faith on you that you will give them food but they are not faithful to you.
So in a relationship with your spouse you have faith that you spouse will not make relationship with someone else, then they must come to expectations of your faith on them to be called as faithful to you.
As faithfulness is defined by the personal faith on you whom you are faithful to.
Loyalty is about giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a someone or an institution. These actions of support can be defined by moral parameters defined by society or the institution
I think that loyalty can be more specifically defined, but faith is mostly mutual understanding among the two.

I hope I do... someone who only stays with you for their own purpose of being faithful, when if they are loving of you they stay loyal to you?
