Standing Beside Him.....

The clock struck 12:00, and her phone rang. She rushed to answer it. Before calming her breath, she spoke in a very formal tone to hide her excitement. The first thing she saw was his smiling face on the screen. She heard his endearing voice say, "Happy Birthday," and all her worries vanished into thin air just like that. 

At the same time, her apartment bell rang, and he told her to open the door. She ran to the door in anticipation that he was there, but unfortunately, he was not there. He had ordered a huge bouquet of her favorite flowers—peonies—and chocolates. Her face lit up with joy as she received the bouquet and chocolates. She took the bouquet and chocolates from the delivery person and thanked him.

It was her first birthday after marriage, and he was not there to celebrate it with her. However, no one was to blame, as he had urgent work at the office and was called in to attend to it. This meant he had to travel to a different state for it. He debated for a long time about whether he should go or stay and celebrate her birthday instead. 

When he informed her about the situation, she encouraged him to go, as the sensible wife she was. She understood and valued his professional commitments, recognizing the importance of his work. She has always been an understanding woman. Now that they are married, she acknowledges his obligations and wants him to fulfill his job, just as she takes her career seriously. 

She is understanding and quiet; she enjoys her company and takes time to open up. As a woman of few words, she thrives in a close-knit circle. On the other hand, he is complete opposite, yet they make the perfect couple. She supports him unconditionally. 

Although he needs to travel frequently for work, she never complains and enjoys spending time alone. She likes her own company but is happiest when he is around. Although she doesn't often express it, she appreciates being close to him without being demanding. In a world where many men feel frustrated by women who are overly demanding or nagging, she understands that he cannot give her all his time and attention.

As I observed her, it struck me that it’s common to judge a woman harshly when she expresses anger, often because he fails to give her enough time. However, in my personal experience, I’ve noticed quite the opposite: women are usually very considerate of their partners and offer unconditional support. They understand their partners’ work commitments and are always ready to provide assistance. What more could a man want from her?

She stands by him on his bad days, stays on the phone while he's working late on his laptop, and makes his coffee when he wakes up at four in the morning for work. She wakes him every morning to ensure he isn't late for his job while managing her work commitments. She takes care of his small small things.

Haven't we seen our mothers making tea for our fathers, cooking the food they like, waiting for them when they come from work, and caring for them when he is ill? Women, in general, take care of the emotional, physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual well-being of people around them. 

When discussing him specifically, she listens to him without judgment, encourages him to improve, stands up for him, and motivates him. She is his number-one cheerleader. She pushes him to achieve a better work-life balance. She understands him deeply, recognizing the potential he cannot see in himself. Above all, she prays for him.

She understands when he cannot be with her on important occasions such as her birthday, Valentine's Day, or anniversaries. She is willing to sacrifice these significant moments if he has other commitments and is prepared to wait for him. 

She is a beautiful creation of God and a born nurturer. She loves to do things for her loved ones and goes above and beyond for him when she is in love. Her giving, understanding, and patient nature create a perfect combination. She is his strength.

So, if you have this person in your life, cherish her. Women in love look like this. If you have someone special in your life, take a moment today to appreciate her.
