    Yes...After close to 2 decades together .....I have no doubt.
    I definitely love him more than I love my siblings and my parents.

    Yes.. But the way DH expresses his love and concern is different from my parents. For instance, he doesn't pamper me much... like every family, there are occasional tiffs also.. but at the end of the day its only us for each other. And we know and respect this reality..

    No second thought and no doubts.. My DH loves and takes care of me more than my parents and siblings... Though I have extreme love and affection for my parents, somehow my hero has taken a first seat in my heart and I have kept in the peak of my heart where never could I imagine sharing his place with others.:p

    No doubt.

    I often tease him, would you save me like a movie hero from a danger?
    His response is, 'wouldn't you'?

    I believe he will, 'Unnai Thaanguven Naan Veezhthidum Varai' (translation - I will hold you till my last breath?) . Over time the magic happened, not overnight.

    What is it with women. Why is it always a competition between the parents the spouse.

    comparing apples and oranges. the love of parents for their child will always be greater than the love spouses have for each other, all other factors being equal. spouses may divorce, siblings may have rivalries. but the parent child bond is special. i would hope that my parents love me more than my spouse does. actually i take that for granted :-D

    It is a very different thing if you compare the love between the spouses and for example parent-child relationship. The love between spouses is romantic, sexual and very intimate. It will also become very deep if you live long together. The love a parent has towards a child is protective, overwhelming and very deep but later when the child is adult it will become less protective and "visible". But for example the grief you feel when a child dies is something that is the most disturbing, even deeper than the loss of your spouse. A child will love unconditionally her parents as a child, later the relationship will change but a parent will always love more the child than the child the parent. Because the child is the future, the parent the past.
