Problem: Janna and Matt were both professionals: Janna was a lawyer, and Matt was an architect. They married in their early to mid-30s and were in no hurry to have children because they were so busy and because their professional lives were so fulfilling. After they had been married about 5 years, they decided that it was finally time to start a family. They had a nice home that Matt had designed and a good investment program so that Janna might not have to work full-time at her law practice, but instead might be able to stay at home with a child. They had it all planned out. Janna would work part-time and stay home as much as possible with the two children that they would have; when they entered school, she would go back into her career full-time. When they decided to start their family, Janna was 37 and Matt was 39. Things didn't work out as they had planned: Janna didn't become easily pregnant.
