Pangs in a Childless Marriage

Ok I guess in Africa it seems a family isn’t complete without the cries of a baby or babies. Guess that’s why Sylvia and her hubby are yearning earnestly to find a solution to their childlessness.

When a couple are in search of the fruit of the womb, they are often faced by several realities which includes medical restrictions or just a need to keep trying and be patient. For Sylvia and Dave, there seems to be hope but what of couples despite their healthy state, they are caught in between the need to just wait.

 

In the western world, we see couples going out of their way to insist on not having kids. But hey we are in Naija! and being childless after a long period of marriage isn’t so pretty so what is the way forward? Do we need reorientation on the issue of insisting on having children in a marriage at least to ease off the pressure on couples or is it ok to search for children against all odds. At least children are always blessings to every family. So share your thoughts, do Africans need reorientation on insisting that a family is not complete without kids or is it ok for couples to strive helter skelter to have kids.
