I am very blessed because I married my DH because he was the love of my life. We have been married for 9 1/2 years, and did not start trying to have a family until we had been married 4-5 years. We never anticipated having problems conceiving, but that was the hand we were dealt. My DH felt so bad when we figured out the cause of our difficulties, and needed affirmation that I did not have any regrets in marrying him. I have no regrets because I married an amazing man who loves me, and now are son, more than anything. Even knowing the obstacles that we were to face, I would not change anything. He is the only person that I can imagine going through life with, and it brings tears to my eyes to think that he is the father of my beautiful son. Life is full of many heartaches, and there are no guarantees, but what a comfort to know that I have a beautiful family, and that DH and I share an amazing love. With that said, having a child is one of the hardest things you will ever do, and if you do not have a strong and loving relationship it will be very difficult for that relationship to survive. Further, what a gift it is to our children to have parents who love each other, and for them to know that they are a symbol of this love.
