A popular Gospel singer has for the first time spoken on divorcing after only three years of marriage.
Mwihaki also disclosed that the divorce got her into stigma and depression and she could not openly talk about it because she was ashamed.
Emotional confusion
She however said that she has learnt her lessons and she can no longer be silenced after going through an emotional confusion.
Here is her post;
“ Psalms 119:71. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. -My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.Marriage is a beautiful institution created by God and ordained by Him for His glory. Sadly, only a few people get the technicalities of this institution right. Three years of marriage, a quiet 5-month separation, followed by divorce, is not usually the blueprint in any girl’s plan.
I felt I couldn't come out and talk about it, the stigma and depression of it all shut me up, the church also almost requires you to remain silent about it because 'love covers a multitude of sins'.. I was silenced… silenced by shame, silenced by divorce. Marital counseling, Pastoral guidance, interventions from Family and close friends amidst emotional turmoil was part of the journey I had to walk through...” she said.
