No Woman, No Cry — But Is That True?
You’ve heard it before. Bob Marley’s voice echoing through generations:
“No woman, no cry…” But ask Chuka, and he’ll tell you—sometimes, “no woman” means more cry.
Chuka was a real gee. Sharp guy. Built like someone who knew where he was going. Business was moving, connections strong, money flowing. But his heart? Lonely. And deep down, he knew.
One Sunday after church, he met Amara. Soft-spoken, God-fearing, beauty with brains. From the first smile, Chuka knew this one was different. Not just curves and charisma but peace. That peace that comes when God Himself says "This is it."
Fast forward 2 years, Chuka had married Amara.
And guess what?
He stopped crying.
No more solo victories. No more eating alone after wins. No more hospital runs without a hand holding his. No more bottling things up like a one-man army.
She saw his mood before he spoke.
She knew when he was tired even when he laughed.
She prayed when he was too weak to kneel.
She fought battles beside him and sometimes for him.
So Chuka would laugh anytime he heard people say, “No woman, no cry.”
Because for him, the truth was the opposite:
“It’s because I found the right woman that I no longer cry.”
It’s not about having a woman it’s about having the right one.
The wrong woman will drain you. The right one will sustain you. One will scatter your life, the other will structure your life.
Marriage is not a prison. But it can feel like one if you marry the wrong person.
It’s not heaven either. But with the right person? You’ll taste heaven on earth.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up." — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” — Proverbs 18:22
It’s not just about marrying a woman. It’s about marrying a helper, a warrior, a blessing wrapped in flesh.
Don’t rush into love because of pressure. Wait. Pray. Observe.
And when you find her, don’t just post her protect her. Not all women bring peace. And not all peace comes from being alone.
So when next you hear “No woman, no cry”—ask yourself:
"Do I want no woman, or do I want the right woman?"
