My family comes before anything else in my life, but I still fully intend to honor the obligations which I voluntarily took upon myself on the morning I was initiated. Family and GLO are not mutually exclusive.

Short of someone holding a gun to your wife's head and demanding your ritual secrets, I see no reason the two oaths should ever conflict.

So why is this being argued here as some kind of choice? Is your GLO vow now subject to some constantly fluctuating "oath priority list"? If the answer to that question is "yes" then sorry to say, but you aren't worthy of your organization OR your spouse.

As each oath is subsequently taken, it is your responsiblity to evaluate whether the current oath conflicts with any previous ones. If it does, you should not take the current one. If it doesn't conflict and you do take the oath, you honor it without caveat. That's called honor.
