SARAH KABU OPENS UP ON SEEING 3 MARRIAGE COUNSELLORS FOR OVER 5 YEARS TO SAVE HER MARRIAGE

Businesswoman and co-founder of Bonfire Adventures, Sarah Kabu, has opened up about her marital struggles and the steps she took before she decided to divorce her husband Simon Kabu.

In an interview on Dr. Ofweneke’s podcast. Sarah disclosed that she and her former spouse sought the assistance of three different marriage counsellors for over five years in an attempt to salvage their union. But the couple ultimately decided to part ways. “I am at peace,” Sarah expressed. “For us women, we exist emotionally before we physically leave. Emotionally, I left in early 2022, but what kept me was my children. I was raised in a close-knit family, and I wanted that for my children. Secondly, it was for the business because it was thriving.” 

She revealed that even during attempts to rekindle their relationship, the disconnect was apparent. “I was forced to go on holiday, but we would sleep in different rooms. During the day, everyone was doing their own thing, creating content for the business.” 

The couple saw three marriage counsellors who eventually encouraged them to explore other options, “We tried, we saw three leading marriage counsellors but they got tired. They gave us blessings to try other avenues.” Sarah took the step of seeking legal counsel. “I approached Mwenda Njagi in January 2023 because I wanted a divorce after five years of moving from one therapist to another,” she said. 

She also revealed that 2023 was spent in mediation, even as the couple shared beautiful photo moments on social media. “When we were posting photos of Valentine’s in Bali and Maldives, we were in mediation,” Sarah disclosed.
