A video has surfaced featuring popular Ghanaian media personality and marriage counsellor, Maame Yeboah Asiedu, discussing her stance on divorce.
The video, from 2020, reveals her belief that divorce should not be the immediate solution to marital challenges.
At that time, she emphasised the importance of working on marriages and suggested that divorce should only be considered when all other options have been thoroughly explored.
The emergence of this video comes amid speculation and allegations regarding her own divorce and subsequent remarriage.
“I don’t believe in divorce; I believe in working out marriages. God has his reasons for putting you in a marriage. Because, come what may, you should be able to work at it.
“Divorce is not an option for me; that is why I always advise people to marry the right people. But if the marriage deteriorates to the point that they can’t go further, then they can understand,” he said.
Maame Yeboah further said that marriages should be unions between mature individuals and should be embarked upon with the right mindset.
“Marriage is for the mature mind. You shouldn’t go into marriage with the mindset that you are a star or a better person than your partner. You will get it all wrong. You are marrying your husband as a normal person and he is marrying you as a normal person.
“Marriage is about one’s mindset; if you have the mindset that you are going to test the waters, it won’t end well.
Maame Yeboah Asiedu has recently addressed the reasons behind her divorce from her previous husband and subsequent remarriage within a year.
She clarified that her husband, Mr. Afriyie, initiated the divorce proceedings in court, and she had no alternative but to comply with it.
Maame Yeboah asserted that she is not a hypocrite and emphasised that she did not initiate the end of the marriage.
Additionally, she highlighted that she is unique in being the only woman to remarry within a year of divorce.
