Gospel stars open up about their polygamous marriage
Njeri wa Muigai, the first wife of gospel singer Muigai wa Njoroge, has opened up about her experiences being in a polygamous marriage.
In a recent Facebook live session, Njeri addressed inquiries from her fans regarding her absence during her husband’s recent birthday celebration. She explained that she did not attend the celebration because it was organized by her husband’s second wife, Queen Stacey.
Njeri admitted that it was difficult for her to accept her husband’s decision to marry another woman, but she said that she has since come to terms with it.
“It has been 11 years since my husband married Queen Stacey,” she said. “We cried and drank, and we tried all we could. But in the end, I had to accept it for my own peace of mind.”
Njeri said that she nearly fell into depression when she first learned that her husband was taking a second wife. “During that period, I just couldn’t laugh,” she said. “I felt like I was in a deep depression.”
However, Njeri said that she has since found peace within herself. “What you cannot control, you learn to live with it,” she said. “There is harmony right now between me and Queen Stacey. If you want to stay in a polygamous marriage, you have to find your space and don’t leave. Peace is very important.”
Njeri also reflected on the dramatic moments in her relationship with her husband. She admitted to confronting him at one of his concerts, and she said that they have “gone through all those stages.”
Despite the challenges she has faced, Njeri said that she is grateful for her family. “I am signing deals, and people are tagging me, saying sorry for what I went through,” she said. “But I am okay. I am at peace.”
Njeri’s story is a reminder that polygamous marriages can be successful, but they require a lot of work and understanding from all parties involved. If you are considering entering into a polygamous marriage, it is important to be aware of the challenges that you may face and to be prepared to work through them.
