infertility in females refers to those who cannot conceive and give birth to a living baby.. there are so many factors that may result to this, like psychologically.. emotional stress, mental depression, tension and fear can be one of the means why this is happening.. i think psychological factor also appeals to men infertility... knowing such, will a man still love her woman?

I think in some cases it can affect the relationship of a married couple. There are some friends of mine I know that got separated becaue of infertility. Eventhough adopting a child can be an option, they still think that nothing beats like having their own child. I have a friend whose husband got another girl pregnant because she is infertile. But I think it really depends on how you love each other. I have aunts who can bear a child but they still are happily married. They just adopted a child and treat them as their own.

I don't see it as a hindrance if at the start, the intertile one tells the other about it. Sometimes, what makes it hard to understand and accept the fact is when there is concealment. If at first, both knew it. That is acceptable. It is just a matter of telling and accepting.

I think yes. I have seen many couples with that case. But men still keep loving their women.

God has blessed with with love. I am very fortunate to have a husband who loves me no matter what. Even though I could not conceive he still loves me and never created reasons to make me feel guilty. In life there are always hardship. It depends on us to handle the situation. If we regard it as negative, it will be negative. To me I always try to look things from the positive side.

I know many couples that are infertile. It was easier to adopt a child in the 1960s and 70s. Nowadays it is more challenging and time consuming. My mum's friend got married in the early 1960s. She tried for many years to get pregnant and then they had tests to see if one of them had a problem. It turned out her husband was infertile. They decided to adopt, first a little girl whose natural mum was a teenager and then a little boy whose natural mum was a business woman. So this couple had a stressful time but stayed together. Their adopted children are grown up and both quite happy in life and their adoptive parents are still together in a happy marriage. But infertility has been very upsetting for other couples that I know. My two female cousins born in the 1960's are both infertile. One of them came to terms with not being able to become pregnant and got some cats and dogs instead. The other one found it brought much tension into her marriage. So she and her husband got divorced. I taught with a teacher that tried to get pregnant for 10 years. She successfully went through IVF and gave birth to triplet boys. They are the most delightful children. Another teacher tried and tried to get pregnant. She is still trying now. Good luck to her. Her man still loves her but it does place a strain on their relationship.

I think it's a test of their love. If someone can't love their spouse because they are infertile, then they don't really love them at all and its better for the infertile spouse to know son so they can find someone more real.
