My friends said I embarrassed them for marrying such a man

When I married my husband, I knew exactly what I was getting into. He had a disability that made him stand out, and many of my friends saw this as a reason to mock and ridicule me. But what they didn’t see was his heart, his determination, and the quiet hope he held inside. My name is Njeri, and this is the story of how we overcame the odds and found success, happiness, and a life that I never imagined possible.

It all began several years ago when I first met my husband, Peter. He was kind, intelligent, and full of dreams, but he walked with a noticeable limp after an accident years earlier. From the moment we started dating, I could feel the judgment from those around me. My friends made it clear they thought I was making a mistake.

“You could do so much better,” they’d say, “Why would you settle for someone like him?”

It wasn’t just about his disability. Peter wasn’t wealthy; he worked a simple job, lived in a modest apartment, and his dreams seemed far-fetched to them. But I saw more than what they did. I saw a man who was ambitious, who had faced hardship but wasn’t willing to let it define him. I knew that with love, support, and the right opportunities, we could build a life together.

When we got married, my friends were horrified. Some of them stopped talking to me altogether. I’d hear whispers behind my back: *”Njeri is throwing her life away,” “She’s embarrassing herself,”* and *”Why would she marry a man who can’t even walk properly?”*

The comments hurt, but I refused to let them get to me. I loved Peter, and I believed in him. I knew our life wasn’t going to be easy, but I was prepared to stand by his side.

As the months passed, it became clear that Peter’s job wasn’t going to provide the financial security we needed. We struggled to make ends meet, and although we were happy in our relationship, the weight of our financial troubles began to grow. I started to wonder if maybe my friends had been right—maybe I had made a mistake.

But Peter wasn’t one to give up easily. He heard about Mugwenu Doctors, a renowned traditional healer who was said to offer powerful spells for luck, success, and financial prosperity. At first, I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. How could visiting a healer possibly change our circumstances? But Peter was determined, and he convinced me to go with him.

When we arrived at Mugwenu Doctors, they listened to our situation with empathy. They explained that the money and luck spells weren’t about creating wealth out of thin air but about opening doors to opportunities, clearing obstacles, and allowing the energy of success to flow into our lives. We decided to trust the process.

The changes didn’t happen overnight, but within a few weeks, small things began to shift. Peter got a promotion at work that allowed us to breathe a little easier financially. Then, out of nowhere, a business opportunity came his way—a chance to invest in a small startup that was looking for partners.

We took a leap of faith and used the little savings we had to invest. That business took off in ways we could never have imagined. Soon, Peter was not just a partner but an integral part of the company’s success. His natural business sense, combined with the opportunities that seemed to come his way, catapulted him into a world we had only dreamed of.

Within two years, we were able to move from our tiny apartment to a beautiful house in Runda, one of Nairobi’s most prestigious estates. We started expanding our investments, opening multiple businesses, and securing properties in Kilimani. Our life had transformed completely, and it was all thanks to Peter’s determination, the guidance from Mugwenu Doctors, and the faith we had in each other.

As our fortunes changed, so did the attitudes of those around us. The same friends who had mocked me for marrying Peter were now trying to reconnect. They couldn’t believe that the man they had once ridiculed was now a successful businessman, living in luxury and providing a life that they could only dream of.

One day, one of my old friends approached me and said, *”Njeri, you were so lucky! Who knew Peter would turn out like this?”* There was a part of me that wanted to remind her of the cruel things she had said about him, but I didn’t. Instead, I smiled and said, *”I always believed in him.”*

But not all my friends were happy for us. Some couldn’t hide their jealousy. They would make snide comments like, *”Well, anyone can get lucky with the right help,”* or, *”You just stumbled into this life.”* It didn’t bother me anymore. I knew the truth—that we had worked hard, that we had faced challenges together, and that our success was the result of both love and perseverance.

Looking back now, I’m grateful for the journey Peter and I have been on. We didn’t have an easy start, and there were times when I doubted myself, when the words of my friends weighed heavily on my heart. But through it all, I learned an important lesson: when you believe in someone, truly believe in them, incredible things can happen.

Peter’s disability never defined him. His spirit, his drive, and his love for me were what mattered most. And with the help of Mugwenu Doctors, we were able to unlock the opportunities that had always been out of reach.

Today, as I sit in our beautiful home, running multiple successful businesses with Peter, I can’t help but feel immense pride. Not just in what we’ve achieved, but in the fact that we never gave up on each other. My friends may have been embarrassed by my choice, but I know I made the best decision of my life.

To anyone out there facing judgment or doubt from others, I want to say this: don’t let other people’s opinions dictate your happiness. Love is about more than appearances or wealth; it’s about believing in each other, even when the world doesn’t.

I stood by Peter when no one else would, and together, we built a life that’s more beautiful than I ever imagined. And for that, I will always be proud.
