  • Can His Boys Swim?

    QUESTION

    Hi Sam,
    We've been trying now for two years to have a baby. At this point I've undergone multiple tests with no answers. My doctor has recommended my husband be tested for fertility issues.

    His immediate response seems to be that I'm somehow questioning his sexual abilities. Trust me -- THAT part is fine!

    How is it that women are supposed to go through the testing and that's ok, but the same isn't true for guys?

  • Looking for Family-Friendly Couples

    QUESTION

    My partner and I have decided we’re ready to start our family. The rest of our friends aren't settling down yet. His guy friends still chasing girls in bars and mine too focused on finding "Mr. Right." Do you think this sounds like a recipe for a problem in our relationship?

    Is there a way to navigate to other couples building their families? I mentioned that to my partner and neither of us have no clue where to even connect with these people.

  • Wanting to Start a Family Now

    QUESTION

    We've been married for three years. Before marriage my husband and I did discuss wanting to have a family someday (at least three kids).

    Now each time now that I try to talk about trying it seems that he has an excuse of why "now" isn't a good time. I'm in my thirties and am concerned about running into problems conceiving.

    I feel resentful as his reasons are selfish. It would interfere with our travel plans, (those I'd give up easily), wanting to buy a bigger house (we have 3 bedrooms), and now even citing "the economy."

    Any advice to help me understand?
