Loved

“You may now kiss your bride” stated the minister to Peter. He could hardly wait to lift the veil and look into the eyes of the woman who Loved him enough to become his wife. “Are you crying again?” asked Peter to his wife Sarah. “How many times are you gonna watch this video and are you gonna cry every time?” “Why not?” said Sarah. “The day we married was one of the happiest days of my life. I can’t wait until the day we become parents so that I can be even happier” declared Sarah. “Babe, you know we’ve been trying for a while now. Don’t get your hopes up just yet, ok?” asked Peter. “Why not?! I know this time will be different for us” stated Sarah. “You know that I dreamt that we were pregnant. This time, it’s really gonna happen. The dream was so real. You were happy and I was even happier. I just know we’ll get pregnant” proclaimed Sarah.

“How’s married life treating you Peter” asked his Father, Jefferson. “Married life is good to me dad. You should know because you taught me how to treat my wife by the way you treat Mom” said Peter. “But?” asked his Dad. “Humph, you think you know me, do you?” asked Peter. “You yourself just said that I taught you well. So of course, I know that something is bothering you about your wife. Go ahead and tell me. What is it?” asked his Dad. “Sarah wants a baby” stated Peter. “But?” queried his Dad. “You know that it’s been years and we still haven’t been able to conceive. What if this time is like the other times?” asked Peter. “What if it’s not?” asked his Dad.

“I love her so much and I want children with her but if it doesn’t happen for us, I don’t know what it will do to her. She’s adamant that this time we’ll get pregnant. She’s been this sure before. Last time when it turned out that we were not pregnant, she became depressed. I want her to want me as much as she wants a child. I don’t think she realizes how much pressure that is putting on our relationship” said Peter. “Have you spoken to her about the way you are feeling? asked his Dad. “The way you two communicate outside of the bedroom will parallel how well you two communicate in the bedroom. Don’t put off talking with her any longer. Let her know what’s going on inside of you. I know you think you have to be strong for her right now. But a little vulnerability between the both of you would be a good starting point” remarked his Dad.
