I agree with what is quoted, but the very first sentence could of been said a bit differently to make the point more clearer. A parent is necessary in the life of a child and a spouse in the life of the other spouse. There are time when people are a necessity on others lives, yet they do not take the place of God.

Sure, but even parents and spouses can interfere with the Lord's work in a person's life.

I agree, but how it was written I can not agree with. The goal is to be not as important as the Lord. He has to be first in every life.
