Gospel artist Rosy Ohon has for the first time shared how continued arguments almost led to her divorcing her husband.
Ohon is the mother to ex-Machachari actress Joy.
In an interview with Rawder Kidula Kedaha Mr Ohon shared
” I started dating my wife at 17. We were born again at the time but things happened and we got pregnant, our firstborn is currently 24.”
Rosy added
“I got married at 21, while he was 26.
when I met him and released all the baggage I was carrying, I knew he was the one.
I met him as a hustler but I never saw that.”
Mr Ohon says he had wanted to get married young hence he had promised to marry her immediately after he had a stable job.
Rosy says she came to the marriage with too many expectations
” I thought there would be a lot of sex but I was disappointed and questioned why he did not want me sexually.
We were very much in love but we were clueless.
Our first year of marriage was full of drama. I was an angry person. I had anger from my abuse as a child.I was not that wife nor was he that husband.”
Mr. Ohon shared
“I knew she was the right person for me but I did not have the knowledge to execute how I felt.
There was no pre-marital counseling at the time. I came from a dysfunctional family where I would see my dad beat up my mum.”
When did the cracks start showing?
” We had challenges but we were not approaching it from a Godly perspective.
There was no respect, the communication bit was the issue. We were not handling each other lovingly.” Shared Rosy
She decided to leave her marriage hoping the distance would help them re-think the whole marriage.
“I left my marriage for four months and went back to my mum’s home.
I left the kids with him during this time.
The kids would come and see me. He would still come but my head was blocked at the time.
I wanted him to reflect on the hurts and the pains he had put me through.
The next thing would have been a divorce. Ironically things became worse after I went back.
This was around the 16th year of marriage.We knew we loved each other but it wasn’t working “
Mr. Ohon says not at any one point did he ever doubt his wife’s love for him and vice versa.
“We decided instead of causing each other pain despite our love for each other, we opted for divorce.
It’s from there we decided to go back to the foundation of our marriage.”
Rosy says sometimes people have certain perceptions about their spouses and this might end up affecting their marriages. BY MPASHO NEWS
