Husband first
Having babies can put a temporary hold on who gets your primary attention - especially when they are newborns. However, as babies grow and become less needy I've found I continue to place their needs and wants ahead of my husband's, even when it is no longer necessary. I am trying to reprogram my mindset to realize the children can wait and I need to place my husband's needs and wants as foremost in my service to my family.

I agree! And I'd even go so far as to say that seeing you put Daddy first meets a child's need as well-- the need to see Daddy respected and honored by Mommy!
So insightful - and sooo true!
Mom is constantly reminding me of this fact. I think it's taught in Shepherding a Child's Heart (a book she really likes). It teaches that when women put their children first it disrupts the order of the family. It also mentions that children were not in the garden of Eden. An interesting point that I'd never thought about before. :) Good comment by Herb of Grace too!
