***************************
Marriage is a commitment a couple make, to love and support each other through good times and bad. Not everyone finds it easy to live happily ever after, though. Sometimes a spouse turns violent when there is a conflict, and intervention is necessary to help rebuild harmony in the home.
Ah Man (a pseudonym) and Ah Gun are two husbands who joined the Social Welfare Department's Batterer Intervention Programme pilot project after their marriages soured. It helped them realise the harm they were inflicting and taught them how to control their emotions.
They shared their stories with news.gov.hk. The feature story and video were published on the news.gov.hk website today (February 26).
