Woman: A blessing and a gift.

There are times in life when we expect gifts from the people around us. The value of which is determined by how it connects needs or desires. God gave man two invaluable gifts: First, the breath of life and, second, the fountain of life—which is only the start of the blessings women bring. The man was a corpse before God blew breath into him, lonely until God gave him woman. Loneliness is not the absence of people or things; rather, it is a part of man. There was nothing that man could find to satisfy loneliness, but the woman. The role of women should be free of violence and exploitation. Any suffering should be an indication of the will of her maker and not because of the wickedness of man. There are two main reasons why women suffer silently. These reasons are chronicled through a series of evil committed against women looking at suffering through the eyes of God. The woman is a gift from God, and how we treat her demonstrates to the Giver our gratitude for His kindness. If we say we love God and abuse our women, then the truth is not in us, we prove our love and admiration by supporting them in times of suffering. Women who survive are those who refuse to be swayed by the voice of dissidence. Those who choose survival over quitting. Welcome to the resilience of the Silent Sufferer.
