Amy Newman is a Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician
Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Amy Newman has shared that submissiveness and a desire for peace have helped sustain her marriage for over four decades.
Speaking in an interview on Onua FM on October 31, 2025, she disclosed that even during difficult moments in her marriage, she chose humility and patience to maintain harmony.
“When my husband wrongs me, he might be full of pride and won’t apologise, but I always apologise to him regardless of what he did. I always wanted peace,” she said.

Amy Newman also revealed that she lived with her husband’s extended family for 20 years, an experience she described as challenging but one she endured because of her upbringing.
“I was living in my husband’s family house for 20 years. It wasn’t easy for me, but I was raised well, so I endured,” she shared.
She stated that one of the things her husband appreciates most about her is her cooking, a skill she perfected while growing up in a well-to-do family.
“One thing my husband loves about me is my cooking skills. I learned how to cook from a rich family. They really taught me well, and the woman even said she would arrange for her son to marry me when I grew up,” she said.
Amy Newman further recounted how her husband’s family sought approval from the wealthy family that raised her before finalising their marriage plans.
“When my husband was asking for my hand in marriage, his family went to the rich family who taught me how to be a woman. The woman told them I was well-trained, so they could go ahead and marry me. I was over 18 then, and I got married at 19,” she recounted.
