A Vasectomy Story
Tim and Stephanie Blackiston have six young children. Believing they couldn’t handle any more children, Tim took measures to make sure they wouldn’t. As Stephanie described, “While he was out having the procedure …I could feel our oneness severed.” Listen to this week’s show as Tim and Stephanie share their story of brokenness, healing, and the mystery of oneness. It’s a powerful show.

Thank you for sharing your story. I cried through it because I have been through a similar situation. My husband had it done behind my back and lied to me. I found out later. I felt so many of the same feelings as Stephanie. I TRIED to “just get over it”, but it didn’t happen. My marriage has not been restored so wonderfully. I so wanted my story to be of restoration and healing. I long to be able to share my story as a sign of hope. But it hasn’t happened yet. I know He can heal, but He has chosen for me to walk through this instead. Please keep sharing your story. There are so many of us out there that need hope. God Bless
I really enjoyed this. I had a tubal ligation 17y ago…I never thought of how it “severed” my relationship with my husband.
Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy this family, but hearing this makes me feel like I’m listening to someone who threw a fit until they got what they wanted. After my 4th my husband felt that it was in our families best interest to have a vasectomy, but I longed to keep that door open. I prayed for us both and felt that my husbands desire was to do what was best for our family. Some times taking your husbands lead is what God calls us to do. I feel like God created me to be a wife and mother, but being a Godly wife sometimes is hard. I wanted to cry and fight over this decision, but it would have caused pain and heartache within our family. I know many many women who struggle with their husbands desire to not have the stress of knowing that intimacy can be there without the thought of another pregnancy. Sure that unexpected baby would be loved dearly, but I believe God wants us to follow the leadership of our Godly husbands. I’m sure having the vasectomy reversed did relieve the pain because the door was once again opened! Scripture states there is a season for everything and God has allowed me to know that my season of childbearing is passed. It’s unfortunate that a wife and mother might read this and possibly feel worse about her situation and that her husband didn’t “cave” and have a reversal, and opps have a 7th child!!! And somehow things are great now that another baby is on the way. God bless this baby and your family. I’m not usually one to comment but felt that it could hurt someone who is in the midst of their husbands decision for their family.
