Mercy Kyallo's thought-provoking question

Mercy took to social media to ask her followers a question that has been on her mind. She expressed curiosity about why happily married individuals often choose to keep their marital experiences private.

"This question is for happily married people... I wonder why you are always so private and quiet about your relationships," Mercy began.

She then posed the question: "Why don't you talk so much about how happy you are in your relationships or marriage?"

Mercy highlighted that in Kenya, discussions about marriage often focus on the negative aspects, such as cheating, disloyalty, and unhappiness. "So many times we talk about marriage, especially here in Kenya, it's usually so bad, so sad about cheating, disloyalty, and everything else apart from the beautiful good things," she noted.

She further pointed out that the media and public discourse are saturated with stories of divorces, unhappiness, and even tragic events.

According to her, this creates a skewed perception that overshadows the positive experiences in marriage. "All we get to hear about are divorces, unhappiness, and people getting hurt. Everything seems to end badly, and people are afraid to fall in love," she added.

The duality of life & marriage

Mercy reflected on the dual nature of life, where both good and bad experiences coexist. She expressed her belief that while there are indeed bad marriages, there are also good ones that deserve recognition.

"But you know what, in this world, it's a world of duality. If you know there is good stuff, just know there is bad stuff, and vice versa," she said.

Mercy shared her hope to be part of a good marriage and to have a fulfilling relationship. She reiterated her curiosity about why more people do not openly celebrate their happy marriages.

"If you know there are bad marriages, I'm sure there are also good marriages, which I want to be part of. I want mine to be the same. But then I just wonder, how come not many people talk about how happy they are in their marriages?" she questioned.
