James was a husband of just one wife whom he loved so dearly. They were both deep in love with each other. The husband ‘James’ found out that he was impotent and could never be able to make his wife pregnant and bear him children. James was so filled with anxiety thinking that his wife would now opt for divorce after discovering that he was in such an impotent position.

However, due to the affectionate love they had for one another both had to face/learn to live by that pressing challenge of not bearing children. They overcame by facing what they feared and opted for child adoption and in so doing they still live a happy and good marriage together with their adopted children. This is such an example of fear and failure.
