We women love someone who listens to us, hears our entire story, understands our pain, respects our anger, and at the end of each day tells us that he truly stands by our side, strengthens our weaknesses, and grieve for our grief.
We women love someone who cares about our condition, keeps our details, is happy for our happiness, and is always ready to lose his argument with us, just to put a smile on our face.
We women love those who are satisfied with us, who do not think of betrayal, treachery, or an alternative, who knows our destiny, understands our ups and downs, accepts our flaws, accepts our excuses, and sacrifices his time for our company.
We women, love those who make us - without the world - the priority of his life, and the exception that is given to all things.
We are women, the pillars of homes, their luminous lamps, the source of their joy, the comfort of their nights, and the partner who never gets bored, no matter how long the life is or how far the distances are.
We women, keep the covenant, keep the cordiality, and know very well the value of the man whose name we bear or live in his bosom, we keep his secret and cover, and bear with him the pain of days.
We women are the epitome of patience and its people, so there is no boredom if conditions change, or complaint if livelihoods are narrowed.
We, women, hide behind cohesion a thousand little girls who would like to cry at the top of their voices, and scream in the face of the world's foolishness and its endless pressures.
We women, we hide behind pride, we look around us all the time for a place to lean and support, and we are strengthened by silence, we wait for giving without asking, and we are satisfied with actions, not words.
We women trust, turn a blind eye, ignore openly, rest, hope for the best, be optimistic about the best every morning, turn the pages of yesterday, and keep only the sweetest memories.
We women are happy with sweet words, sweet phrases, and praise, even if it is a courtesy. Our energies are sharpened by looks of satisfaction and words of thanks.
We women, get happy from the heart for the simplest reason, a quick message on the phone in the midst of the hustle and bustle of busyness, a small gift bearing the word “I love you”, remembering a special date, an early return home without reasons.
Thus, all women were born on a common instinct, and most of us grew up and were raised on the same values and morals in all our Arab societies.
I was very frightened by an intense discussion that took place on a social networking site between men and women, about the spread of betrayal and the demolition of homes, and that women are an integral part in all of this.
Yes, the woman is a party, but she is the exception to the millions of women who guard homes and honour, and fear God in secret and in public.
We women are half the house, half the society, and half the life, and that must be matched by another half who plays a role based on true stewardship, assimilation and adherence to noble values, and being keen on them before instilling them in his daughter or asking his wife for them.
