When you’re married and you both want a child and yet you can’t seem to have one no matter how hard you try, what happens to the marriage? Does it deteriorate into becoming a petri dish for making a baby —where the main goal of your life together eventually centers on making it happen?

Many couples are dealing with this dilemma because sadly, millions of couples are struggling with infertility.

What happened to the many dreams these couples brought with them into marriage? Does every other dream pale because the one dream of having a child isn’t happening?

And if all of your concentration in your married life centers around making a baby, can that become your “idol” —”an object of ardent and excessive devotion and admiration?”
