Children

They are the small humans that will be born and see the world through you, their parents.
People said once you have your own children they'll be your everything.

J said of course the kid will be the number one for him later (if we have one, insya Allah).
And when I protested that I should always be the number one, he pointed out how ridiculous it is to compete with your own kids.
But really, is it just given like that?

From the evolution point of view such protective feeling of parents is important to ensure the fragile little babies survival to the world.
But from the relationship point of view... is it fair?
That you'll love your children more than your spouse?

I wouldn't compare it of course to the love to our parents,
but in the other direction...

the baby was just born, we barely know him/her.
and we barely gone through anything with them.
Is it fair then if suddenly she/he's the center of your world compared to your spouse?

just my musings of course ^^
will be edited when I find the answer :D
