Infertility
can have
adverse effects on a marriage and
sadly some marriages succumb to the
pressures of this common condition.
I must say that fortunately for me, infertility did not affect my
marriage in any adverse way but what I recall though was resenting my husband
for not showing any signs of yearning for children as I was. Near to the end of
my struggles, I had a conversation with him about this and he quickly admitted
to me that he was indeed yearning for children, but decided to conceal his
feelings so that I was not made to feel any worst. How noble is that, and I suddenly felt like the luckiest wife ever. God honored
his nobility and faithfulness shortly thereafter, with the birth of our son.
After the birth of
our children, our marriage felt new, we had been married for 14 years at the
time of the birth of our son and it felt
like we were newly weds again because the path life was about to take us on was
entirely new, as we had never been parents before. We felt close to each other,
as we learned and grew as parents and as we revel in the triumph of overcoming infertility. Now everyday with our
precious gifts is like a continuous
adventure, filled with new challenges and learning experiences.
I would say then,
that my marriage has certainly benefited from infertility, how about yours, is it stronger
after infertility?
Be encouraged,
therefore.
