For years, my husband and I had lived together, but the peace in our home had gradually disappeared. We were constantly arguing about both small and serious matters, and sometimes our disagreements would last for several days.
I am a woman from Jinja, and there was a point when I genuinely felt that our marriage was heading towards its end.
In the beginning, our challenges appeared to be normal marital disagreements. We often disagreed about money, household duties, relatives and other family issues.
However, with time, even the smallest disagreement would develop into a major argument. Simple conversations could easily become exchanges filled with accusations and harsh words.

At times, he would walk out of the house while angry, while on other occasions I would shut myself in the bedroom because I wanted to avoid another confrontation.
Things eventually became so difficult that I started considering separation. I kept wondering whether we would ever become the happy couple we had once been. I still loved my husband, but I was exhausted from living in a home where almost every day seemed to bring a fresh disagreement.
