About This Quote
The statement itself is true, but it’s only half the story. The strong man who tolerates a weak woman isn’t really a strong man. That’s because he allows himself to be controlled and manipulated by a person who is completely unqualified to be in charge of his life. It takes a strong man to withstand the temptations of a weak woman and stay focused on the things that matter most.
