On my post, Lessons I Have Learned Through Infertility: Assertiveness, a reader left the following comment:
It is almost shocking for me to read this as I thought I was the only person in the world to be feeling and living this way. I have the exact similar issue in my marriage where my husband has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
When I was facing my infertility challenges, my husband&#8217;s denial was my biggest obstacle. One of the first tests that infertility doctors run is a semen analysis, and it is kind of hard to do that without semen. Convincing a spouse who is in denial to provide a semen sample is quite a challenge.
Hub did [...]]]></description>

When my husband and I decided to try to conceive a baby, he was dragging his feet about getting the process started at all. Even though he wanted to be a father someday, he was not ready for &#8220;someday&#8221; to be in nine months. The only thing he was looking forward to when we started [...]]]></description>

When my husband and I married, we put ourselves on the &#8220;five year plan.&#8221; We would both work full-time and save up money to start a family. When we married, I had no desire to be a mother yet but figured I would want it someday. Then, my nephew was born, and my biological clock [...]]]></description>

Privacy is a big issue for many people going through fertility treatments. Some people (like me) feel the need to talk about everything they are going through. They need emotional support from other people, and they need other people to understand all that they are going through. Talking about the fertility procedures can be emotionally [...]]]></description>

A big challenge when undergoing fertility procedures is staying in synch with your spouse. No two people think exactly alike, and both of you need to agree about what procedures to try in your quest to become parents. Some couples argue about the timing; others argue about which procedures to try. Still others argue about [...]]]></description>

It is very difficult to keep the romance alive while you are going through fertility treatments. You will sometimes have to be celibate on nights when you would really like to make love, such as on your anniversary or Valentine&#8217;s Day. This is an even bigger problem if one of your fertility issues involves a [...]]]></description>

From what I hear, there are some couples who manage to go through fertility procedures walking side-by-side in complete agreement about what to do next. They never argue and are completely supportive of each other throughout the entire process. They are able to nurture their marriage and stay positive about life as they go through [...]]]></description>

Infertility definitely puts stress on a marriage. The stress can become even more pronounced when one person is diagnosed as &#8220;the reason&#8221; that a couple cannot become pregnant. The person who is infertile can struggle with all sorts of insecurities, not the least of which is whether his or her spouse would have chosen the [...]]]></description>

Well, actually, I guess that Chris and I aren&#8217;t too spiritual in terms of being a couple.  We used to attend church together, but that was way before the kids.  I think that I knew that when we put off marriage for so long, legally anyway.  The legal part of marriage holds [...]]]></description>
