A real man never hurts a woman. Be very careful when you make a woman cry. Because God counts her tears.

The woman came out of man’s rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior. But from his side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected. And next to the heart to be loved.

Time to step up and support the Christmas Appeal.
