I never thought I would share my story, but I feel compelled to do so because so many couples in Africa are silently suffering. My name is Amina from Kisumu, Kenya. My husband and I had been married for over seven years, and for the last three years, things had become unbearable. Arguments had replaced conversations, distance had replaced affection, and I often cried alone at night, wondering if our marriage could ever survive.

I felt hopeless, thinking that my marriage was doomed to fail like so many others around me.
