At the time, my wife and I had been happily married for just about seven years. We were a happy couple that was still very much madly in love treating our relationship as though we were still newlyweds. Our life seemed perfect on the outside; however, there was one deep dark secret that people on the outside looking in just did not know about, and we didn’t plan to tell them. It seemed as though all of our neighbors, friends, and family always felt the need to ask us when we were going to start planning a family of our very own.
