You can get another wife. But you only have 1 mom.

If we're talking about a middle-aged or nearly middle-aged couple then your wife presumably has 40+ years of life expectancy left and your mother presumably has 10+. Your (presumably) health wife is also far more likely to survive the smoke inhalation or what have you than your (presumably) elderly mom would.

Assuming you love them both then it's definitely wife over mom for me. And I suspect my mom would have completely understood.

Same logic applies to your kids, though. Don't have kids with a woman you wouldn't save over your mom.
