agree  Carlos Diaz de Leon: Except maybe I would say beloved instead of "woman", what do you think?
4 mins
  -> It's certainly an option, if the somewhat cacophonic "love / beloved" in this sentence is not a hindrance :-))
neutral  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): the love of his woman: direction is wrong...that means from the man to the woman in English
22 mins
  -> I think "of" here does mean "from", as in "John Doe, of Florida" . See my added examples :-)
agree  Patricia Baldwin: Excellent translation Elena, poetical and forceful. Very nice indeed!!

The love from his beloved provides a man with security and gratitude


Explanation:
To be avoided: his woman, a woman,

beloved is the correct term for this

or
better: makes a man secure and grateful

Please not:

I just want to point out that in English, the love of his woman can very well be ambiguous because it can mean the love the man has for the woman. The only way to lift that ambiguity is to say the love from her. Sorry but that\'s the way it is in this case.

you could also say:

A woman\'s love makes a man secure and grateful.

NOT his woman. It sounds trashy and/or dialectally bound...
