"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY COUNSELING"

Several years ago I was counseling a couple who were deeply in love and all they wanted to do was to work hard and build a family together. They married, they work very hard and they tried for years unsuccessfully to have children of their own. They even went to fertility clinics trying desperately to get pregnant but to no avail. On multiple occassions they tried to adopt a child, but were denied every single time by the Italian Government. This couple supported one another through thick and thin, but eventually realized that having children and building a family together was never going to become a reality for them, so they began to drift apart, eventually seperated and divorced! The good news is that in 2026 both of these gentlemen are happily married and have houses full of children.
