Wow, that's an extreamly difficult question to answer. It depends on so many factors. The bible speaks that the women are to submit to their husbands while the husbands to christ. The bible also speaks of how the man and woman will leave their mother and father in order to unite and become one, but children are flesh of our flesh. Children have their entire lives ahead of them.

Salvation comes from God. A grown man can possibly swim on his own, but children cannot swim. Man can cheat and leave their wives, but children will be ours through good and bad times and nothing could ever change that.

In my opinion, no matter how much a woman loves a man, a love of a mother is greater just like the love of our Father in heaven is great for us. Who would I save, I would save my children. If it is God's will for my husband to be saved, God will provide a way to keep him safe or to save him.

I wish there was a solid and concrete answer I could give you, but like I said before, this is definately one tough question.

One thing that differs in your answer to what I see, your children are not with you forever and your spouse should be, most chidren grow and have their own family and mothers and fathers become secondary thats why i think somewhere the bible says always choose your soulmate over your sibblings, but I am not familiar with the bible enough to know for sure!! if any one knows for sure please reply!!

While the Bible doesn't command "who you should save," (you're under obligation to try to save both), it does have implications over which relationship is most important: your spouse or your children.

Primarily, you have made a vow to your spouse, not to your children.

The Bible teaches that through marriage you have become one flesh with your husband or wife (Matthew 19:5). Furthermore, wives are to submit to their husbands as to the Lord and husbands are to love their wife as Christ has loved the church (Ephesians 5:22, Ephesians 5:25).

So, the husband is as Christ to the wife and the wife is as the Church to the husband. As the relationship between Christ and His Church is unbreakable and of utmost importance (Matthew 10:37), so too is the relationship between husband and wife over that of parent and child.

As a parent, one has a Scriptural obligation to them (for which they will be held accountable), however the Bible teaches the relationship between husband and wife take priority over children.

I hope this helps!
