@dr.sarah.malaki.ball: The most dangerous stage of a marriage is not the shouting. It is the silence. Many couples do not stop loving each other overnight. Sometimes, they slowly stop talking. They divide the house. He watches television. She scrolls through WhatsApp. They discuss money, children and responsibilities, but avoid the conversations that truly matter. And because there are no arguments, everyone assumes the marriage is fine. But quiet is not always peace. Sometimes, it is distance wearing the clothes of peace. In many Kenyan homes, we were taught that a good marriage is a quiet one. Yet silence can sometimes mean that one or both partners have stopped believing that speaking will make a difference. So, here is a question to ask your spouse this week: “What have you been carrying that I have not noticed?” Ask when you are both calm. Listen without defending, explaining or correcting. Your only task is to understand. Sometimes, the first step towards rebuilding a marriage is not another promise. It is creating enough safety for an honest conversation. If silence has become a long-standing pattern in your marriage, do not wait until emotional distance feels permanent before seeking help. Mind, Marriage & Faith with Dr. Sarah Healthier minds.
