Marriage should be a source of peace, not pain, counselor Charlotte Appiah has cautioned, urging couples to reassess their relationships if they find their mental and emotional well-being suffering.

‎Counselor Appiah, who serves as the Counselor for the Anglican University College of Nkoranza and a lecturer at the University of Winneba, Techiman Centre, shared this advice during an interview with Sompa FM's Sofomaame Ototoatuo. 

‎She emphasized that no marriage is worth sacrificing one’s peace of mind.

‎According to her, a sound mind and emotional stability are priceless assets that should never be compromised in the name of staying married. 

‎“If your marriage is draining you emotionally and mentally, then it is time to pause and reevaluate,” she advised.

‎She described her message as a timely reminder for couples to prioritize self-care, noting that enduring constant emotional distress in a relationship can have serious long-term consequences on one’s health and overall quality of life.

‎Counselor Appiah also offered specific advice to women, urging them to look beyond superficial charm when choosing a lifetime partner. 

‎She stressed the importance of focusing on a man’s vision, character, and emotional maturity rather than being swayed by outward appeal alone.

‎In a strong caution, she pointed out that uncontrolled anger is a major red flag. 

‎“Ladies should understand that they are not just marrying a man’s good side. If a man gets angry too easily and cannot manage his emotions, that is a warning sign,” she said, adding that such traits can lead to unhealthy and unsafe relationships.

‎In Conclusion, counselor Appiah reinforcing the idea that love and marriage should enhance life, not diminish one’s peace and well-being.
