Your Spouse or Your Child?

If you are with your spouse and child in a banca and the banca capsizes, who will you save first?

This is the usual challenge question to either of the married couple who usually answers that he or she prefers to save the child.

But a priest who is a friend of mine tells me that it should be the spouse.

Why? Because, he or she is the one whom you have promised before the Lord during marriage to be and stay with till death and the child is just the product of your love. But if you can save both, then, that's better.

What if you no longer love your spouse and that situation happens? Well, that's open to our discretion. Lol.
