Behind a Successful Man There is a Woman

Do you familiar with that saying?
"Behind a Successful Man There is a Woman".

Some feminists may not be happy with this phrase. For them, it is gender biased and putting women's roles not as important as those of men. I disagree with that kind of narrow mentality. Anyway, I am not interested to discuss in this line further.

For me, this is really a respect to all women. Women who play their roles right behind, adjacent and along with their beloved partners in life - the husbands.

Allah s.w.t. has created many things in the universe, in pair. Women are created for men, and vice versa. They are complimenting to and supporting each other. For those of us who are the believers fo God as the creator of mankind, this is the most precious gift - for both healthy and natural men and women.

In fact, in the current hectic life in modern age, where both men and women are struggling to survive in this challenging world, they can also be the success factor to each other.

They are motivating each other, and becoming the source of strength and support to each other. This is compounded for a married couple, whose family will become another factor that drive the motivation and reasons to be successful in life.

Hence, we can also say that, behind a successful couple or partners in life, there is a family.

I say this not from hearsay, but from my own experience. I have a beloved wife and big family. They are all my source of happiness, strength, support and motivation to work and strive harder for the betterment.

That's already a success. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah s.w.t.).
