Procreation

I was thinking about skipping this step and heading straight for the pregnancy stage, but I figured since it is a major contributor to becoming a father I should at least touch on it.  Procreation is the physical act of making a baby...okay I might have to spell it out - sex.  As uncomfortable as some may be with the subject, it really isn't quite as taboo as many people think.  The Bible has quite a bit to say on the subject.
Many a red-faced Sunday school teacher has had to explain tongue-in-cheek to some 3rd grader when stumbling upon verses like Matthew 5:28 or Proverbs 5:18-19.  So there's no confusion, sex, when performed with one's legal spouse can and should be a wonderful experience. 
Several things can make the experience uncomfortable, undesirable, or even sometimes impossible.  Everything from infidelity to physical impediments to mental blocks can cause sex to fall short of expectations for one partner or the other.  I'll give some tips on helping with some of the more common causes of sexual dysfunction, but there are some that may require professional help.
Promiscuity and infidelity are two of the most prevalent sex dampers.  There is nothing more flattening to making love than the image of your husband or wife having at it with another person.  Although the Bible  is clear that infidelity is one of three cases where divorce is allowable, it is not a necessity.  This means that with the help of the Holy Spirit, your marriage can and will be healed from promiscuity and infidelity.  It take God, time, patience, and lots and lots of love to overcome a cheating spirit in your husband or wife.  Without getting into details, I can only say that I know from experience that God can and will work a miracle in your marriage if you allow Him to.
Mental blocks are another problem that can be a barricade to parenthood.  If you are stressed from work, household worries, school, other children, money, or a whole host of other issues, you will not enjoy your spouse during those intimate moments.  The worst part is that your spouse can probably sense it as well and they will not enjoy the encounter either.  If this is a common problem in your marriage, take a 5 to 15 minutes before you go to bed to pray with your spouse earnestly.  Ask God to clear your heart, your mind, and your body to prepare for a wonderful time with your spouse.  Hold hands while you pray and tell God how much you appreciate the man or woman He's given you.  Make bold open statements about the things your spouse does.  It's okay to brag on your man or your woman to God.  He or she is God's child remember?  Who doesn't like to hear people brag on their kids? 
Physical complications can be a real source of frustration for parents-to-be.  These kinds of complications can be associated with pain, discomfort, embarrassment, and even injury in some extreme cases.  While I can't touch on every possible scenario, I can honestly say that God still has a plan for you and your spouse.  Although it may seem easy to blame God for the problem, avoid it all costs.  If you find yourself blaming God, pray to him.  Open your heart to Him.  Don't hold back He knows your thoughts anyway so might as well voice them out loud so He can help heal you.  Tell God you and your spouse will do everything possible and then allow God to do the impossible.  Personally I don't approve of any drug, but I won't tell other people not to follow a doctor's prescription if they have no convictions over them.  Ultimately your goal should be to conceive according to God's plan for your marriage.  Seek God for guidance, wisdom, and patience in whatever circumstance you and your spouse are dealing with but above all do it in love.  Do not blame God, your spouse, or yourself for those physical issues, instead look for the good in your trial.
The miracle that takes place at conception is beyond words.  Simply know that it should always be viewed as a miracle.  Enjoy your spouse in your lovemaking and thank God for him or her afterwards.  It may seem awkward at first saying "Thank you Jesus" after you've made love, but after a while it just seems right.
