Maureen and Benson got married some ten years ago and their marriage
had never been blissful right from day one. “My marriage had never made me
happy, though people used to think the opposite because I pretend a lot. I had
complained severally to my mother, (my number one confidant), how I had longed to take a walk out of it but her advice and words of encouragement
had kept me on.
“Then of course my three children were like strong chains
that tied me down in Benson’s house even when he cheated on me without remorse.
Infidelity runs in my hubby’s blood like a stubborn virus. Right from the first
year he wedded me was when I noticed he still kept his strings of girlfriends.
And not even my pleas could make him stop. When I was advised to hold on to God
strongly, that it would make him stop, I started making church a safe haven,
yet he couldn’t stop. There was a period I tarried before God in prayer, so
much that my pastor said to me that God would have called my husband to glory because of what he was
doing to me but that He didn’t want to make me a widow,” she recalled.
