    About this ebook

    In The Silence in Marriage, Olamma encourages everyone to work on their differences, and outlines how to talk to one another about issues in marriage rather than sinking into silence until the damage is irreparable.

      Chapter One

      She woke up that morning feeling moody, not talking to anyone in the house; she went into the kitchen and filled a cup with water. Her husband moved towards her and gave her a hug. She winced and looked at him in disgust.
