This important article touches on very important biblical and moral principles to consider as Christian couples face the frustrations of infertility. It is a very worthy read (KSchaal)
Infertility is a more common experience than some realize affecting 7–10% of couples.
1. Infertility is a common experience.
According to the CDC, approximately 7–10% of couples experience some form of infertility—a very considerable number. To make that figure slightly more concrete, if your church has about 200 families attend on a given Sunday morning, chances are around 20 of them have experienced infertility.
Despite all feelings to the contrary, infertile couples are not alone in their experience. Many have experienced it, and for some, it is an ongoing or permanent reality. It is important that couples are aware they’re not alone in their experience, and it is important for churches to recognize just how many couples have been or are, struggling with infertility.
