 “It is now that I have understood marriage. Marriage used to be very personal to me. So I felt the pain whenever something little went wrong. Marriage is not to be taken personally. It is friendship. If I get home and I cannot make banku, Ayibge (as she fondly calls her husband) will make the banku, and I will grind the pepper, so we eat together. When I’m tired, I tell him to order shawarma and Fanta. By the time I get home, it’s ready. We eat, gist, and go to bed. There’s no pressure.”

“Everything about me now in my marriage is about friendship. Respect, trust, and love; are these three things that work in marriage. If I respect my husband, he will love me. He will take it away from me if I disregard his freedom. And so I respect what has been given,” she concluded.
