Mapenzi Matamu: How I Finally Found Love After My Marriage Almost Collapsed
My name is Brian, and I never imagined my marriage would fall apart after seven years together in Nairobi. What started as small disagreements about money and time slowly grew into cold silence. My wife and I stopped laughing. We stopped praying together. Eventually, we stopped sharing the same bed. Every night felt like living with a stranger.
I tried everything — counseling at church, advice from friends, even long drives to clear my mind. Nothing changed. One evening, after a particularly painful argument, my wife packed a small bag and left for her mother’s house in Kiambu. That night, I broke down completely. I felt like a failure as a husband and as a man.
A close friend told me about a doctor who specialized in helping people with emotional and spiritual struggles. Desperate, I went. The sessions were intense and deeply personal. I was asked to confront my pride, my anger, and the bitterness I had carried for years. I was given guidance on patience, reconciliation, and rebuilding trust step by step.
Within weeks, something shifted inside me. I apologized sincerely, without excuses. My wife slowly agreed to meet and talk. Conversations turned into forgiveness. Forgiveness turned into affection. Today, we laugh again. We pray together again. Our marriage is stronger than it has ever been.
Sometimes healing begins when a man humbles himself.
