No woman will ever love you the way your mother did. Everything that a woman puts into you is for HER survival. But everything your mother puts into you is for YOUR survival. - Timothy Haslett
There's a big difference between a mother and a wife.
A mother gives birth to you and raises you. There is an instant, unbreakable bond. Even if a child and mother are estranged, they are still conflicted at some level by the fact they love each other.
A child doesn't build a life together with it's mom. It's not a partnership. A child is completely dependent. And it takes for granted the fact that someone is taking care of it.
It's also worth noting that some women are shit moms.
A wife wants a grown up for a partner. She doesn't want to be her partner's mommy. She wants to build a life with her partner and maybe become the mother of her own children. To do that, she needs a mature partner.
But if her partner turns out to be irresponsible, uncaring, abusive, or otherwise dangerous, a woman has to consider her own and her children's welfare. She is not obliged to love unconditionally if she is not honored, respected and loved unconditionally.
Marriage is a two way street. Motherhood isn't.
My mother would have taken a bullet for me. So far I have not met a woman who would even consider that.
However, I have met a few women who have done things for me very clearly with no expectation of return, so the everything for her survival part is not completely true in all cases.
False. Once a child is over the age of 18, they should be ADULT enough to care for themselves, especially if they are not disabled or have any special needs.
Your wife or spouse, if you've found a good one (like my parents did, lucky them!), is there for you... supposedly through thick and thin, sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do you guys part. That kind of thing.
Also though, how do you explain ABUSIVE parents? ? !
... That said, I once took my EX-FIANCE to the E. R. even though his condition wasn't an emergency! However, he was a homeless drug addict at the time who wasn't thinking straight and so therefore, his 47 year old ass INSISTED I take him there and I got scared of something I saw there. The emergency room is for people who are in critical, urgent need, or scarily enough, DYING or in unstable condition! NOT for people who only THINK they have testicular cancer!

I disagree. My mother abused me. So I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be very hard for my girlfriend/wife to treat me better than her.
Then again, women have gotten worse, not better. So I'm still somewhat skeptical that someone better than my mom even exists. (And that's saying something.)
It’s two different kinds of love one is maternal and the other romantic.
so yeah in that sense no woman could ever love you like your mother.
It is true in my case since my mother loved me very much, but there are many cases in which mothers do not love their children.
Its a good rule of thumb not not always true.
Yes it's very true
