What would you do in this situation?

I know this is a tough question, and in a sense meaningless - but I am trying to understand the differences between the strengths of two types of love:

Assuming you are in love with your spouse, and have a strong and healthy relationship and, assuming you have 2 young children and you love them the way a loving parent loves his/her children…

Who would you choose if forced to make a choice between being left on a desert island with either just your spouse or just your children?

My spouse. Actually it sounds like a damn good idea. Hell, if you miss the brats that much, you can always make more on the island.

It would be easy to morally justify by just saying that the kids would have a chance to live normal lives and find their own spouses if not stranded in the South Pacific. Less chance of incest too.

Just to say I completely agree with Eleusis, kids need a chance to live and learn…
