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.
