Just as infertility and pregnancy loss causes emotional stress to an individual, it also impacts relationships—most especially, your romantic relationship. Trying to conceive can create conflict and tension, but it can also bring couples closer together. It can do both at once!
During our digital date night, we'll discuss the most common relationship challenges brought out by infertility and pregnancy loss, followed by practical steps you can take to heal and grow from the experience. Your relationship can survive this tough—but temporary—challenge. With time, community, and hope in Christ, your trying to conceive years can bring you closer together.
Hosted by Nicole and Darren Clark with Twelve 12 Ministries.
