“I stood outside our compound, locked in a heated argument with my husband. I don’t even remember the details, just the weight of financial struggles, heightened emotions, and the sense that we couldn’t agree on anything,” she recounted.
In her frustration, Mercy said she acted out of anger. “Something inside me snapped. Without thinking, I pulled off my wedding ring, threw it into the field, and shouted, ‘I can live without you.’ Even as I said it, the words stung, but my pride wouldn’t let me take them back,” she admitted.
Mercy described their sixth year of marriage as the most difficult, with everything seemingly falling apart. Reflecting on the experience 16 years later, she emphasized the importance of therapy, which she wished they had sought at the time.
“The issue wasn’t really with each other but with unresolved grief. My husband was dealing with the loss of his mother, financial struggles, and other family challenges. We were fighting battles we didn’t fully understand, and it took a toll on us both,” she explained.
Interestingly, Mercy revealed that her wedding ring was found a year later by someone cutting grass in the field. By then, the couple had begun their journey of healing, and finding the ring felt symbolic.

“It served as a reminder of how far we had come. I wear it now as a symbol of our love and a testament to forgiveness, humility, and faith,” she said.
Mercy acknowledged that marriage is not easy but emphasized the transformative power of inviting God into difficult seasons.
“Even the hardest times can become a testimony of grace when you let God take the lead,” she concluded.
David Muguro, who is also a gospel minister, manages Mercy’s music career. She frequently expresses her gratitude and admiration for him.
“My hubby has been one of my greatest decisions @davidtmuguro. Even if I had the chance to pick anyone in the world, I’d still choose him,” Mercy shared.
On his birthday, she penned a heartfelt message:
“Happy Birthday, my love. Every day with you is an overwhelming blessing. Because you cling to Jesus, you only get better. Thank you for being my best friend, personal pastor, ministry partner, and wonderful husband. Life is always better with you.”
