He said that despite the big challenges that came with not having a kid in their marriage, they kept trying until their miracle came.
5. Juana Antwi
A not-so-young woman who became a first-time mother, Juana, was massively blessed after trying to have children for years. She was mocked.
For all her shame, she gave birth to four children. With the new blessings, the family is now begging the public for financial support.
Society needs to do better
Society has got to stop blaming the woman if a marriage is childless. Sometimes, it may just be the couple's decision to hold off having kids. At other times, couples do not need to be so pressured.
