Growing up with juvenile diabetes, Mia Gehren always has special medical needs. That hasn't stopped her from meeting her incredible husband Bill and, working with him, adopting and caregiving for four children. Bill assures it's not as difficult a task as it seems and shares his feeling that this type of caregiving is what he and Mia are supposed to be doing.  They went through experiences with Mia's medical needs that allowed them to bond, strengthen their relationship, and prepare to care for their children. As Mia notes, when it comes to children, it's important to be on the same page and work together as a couple. Leeza and Dr. Jamie Huysman discuss the inspiration Mia and Bill can offer for couples, with their strategy, shared sense of purpose, and eyes wide open.
