It Started with "I Do"

By Amaka Azie

Just two years after saying "I do," Iriah Ozah is ready to walk away from her marriage. Tired of feeling unseen and emotionally alone, she's quietly preparing for divorce, this time, without waiting for another apology that won't change anything. But when her best friend suggests a four-week couples' retreat on Bonny Island, Iriah reluctantly agrees to give it one last try.

Udoka Adindu never thought it would come to this. He knows he's made mistakes, but watching Iriah drift away feels like losing air. After a disastrous family meeting brings their issues to a breaking point, he realises he has two choices: let go or fight for the woman he still loves. Choosing the latter, he takes time off work and agrees to attend the Rekindle Retreat, a final shot at saving their marriage.

On an island far from their daily lives, surrounded by other couples fighting their own battles, Iriah and Udoka are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about their marriage, their wounds, and themselves. But beneath the pain lies a deep love neither is ready to give up on.

Can four weeks be enough to rediscover what brought them together ... or is it already too late?
