Marriage is perceived by most women as a dream come true. It is often romanticised as a perfect union full of bliss and companionship.
However, a Ghanaian woman's story about how her marriage ended has demonstrated that marriage can sometimes become a source of pain and disillusionment.

In an interview with Silent Beads, the woman indicated that she met her former husband at church and subsequently married. They went on to have two kids afterwards.
Their initial flaw was failing to get to know each other better before the marriage because they shared the same doctrine. They believed being in the same church and sharing the same faith would make things work out for them, but soon realised they were essentially strangers.
Narrating her ordeal, she said that she and her husband had become total strangers after their marriage. Communication between them was poor, and understanding each other was challenging.
According to her, their finances became strained after their first child developed a kidney disease and was undergoing treatment.
They spent a lot on her and were financially drained. As a result, she suggested that they move out of their rented apartment to live in her father's house since both parents were deceased and the property was now hers, but he refused.
Conversations turned into arguments, and eventually, the marriage collapsed. She noted that this experience made her very bitter.
