Is a man who travels 36 hours by bus to get a vasectomy because his dear wife cannot endure the side effects of birth control committing an ACT OF LOVE?
Meet George Mbogah, his wife, Ruth, and daughter Nedah, as we consider love in all its forms. Afterall, it is Valentine’s Day!
Here is their story in their words:
Back in 2013, I underwent a vasectomy in Busia, Kenya. The primary reason I embraced this procedure was to ease the health challenges my wife was experiencing due to the contraceptive pills she was taking. To receive the procedure, I had to travel approximately 500 kilometers to meet with the doctors who performed the vasectomy. [Doug Stein and co.]
This step has been crucial in supporting my wife’s well-being while also allowing us to manage our family planning.
“Every day, I am grateful for your presence in my life. Your love has filled my heart with joy and warmth. You are why I believe in true love, and I’m forever thankful for you.” True love is sacrificial–I had to perform an act of love by accepting a vasectomy to relieve you from agonies related to family planning pills, which were detrimental to your health! – George Mbogah
The love we share is a treasure beyond measure. It’s a love that withstands the test of time and overcomes all obstacles. You are my soulmate, and I’m honored to call you mine.” You took a bold step accepting Vasectomy to save my life! – Ruth Mbogah
