Woman, without her man, is nothing.
Woman: Without her, man is nothing.
Here are two sentences with the exact same words. The punctuation used completely changes the meaning of the sentence. Can you think of any others?

There are many sentences that can change their meaning with punctuation. Here is an example:
Slow, men working.
Slow men working.
Without the comma, 'slow' is considered an adjective. Personally I think the last sentence is more appropriate for most construction sites.

Woman, without Herman, is nothing
(Hey, spacing is also considered as a punctuation.)
Wo man! Without her, man is nothing
Found a good one!
Woman, without her man is? Nothing.
Woman without her, man is? Nothing!
( Two meanings!)

In Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene 5, Juliet's dialogue with her mother is rife with double meaning.
Juliet.:
Indeed I never shall be satisfied
With Romeo till I behold him—dead—
Is my poor heart so for a kinsman vex'd:
Madam, if you could find out but a man
To bear a poison, I would temper it,
That Romeo should, upon receipt thereof,
Soon sleep in quiet. O, how my heart abhors
To hear him nam'd,—and cannot come to him,—
To wreak the love I bore my cousin Tybalt
Upon his body that hath slaughter'd him!
Juliet's mother hears that Juliet will never be happy until she sees Romeo dead; that she would mix a poison that would kill Romeo; and that she hates hearing Romeo's name and wishes to kill him out of revenge for her cousin.
Juliet really means that she will not be happy until she sees Romeo again and that her heart feels dead in his absence; that she would dilute the poison so Romeo would sleep rather than die; and that she hates hearing Romeo's name since she cannot see and love him.

I do know that I am clever enough to realize that you used "your" incorrectly in your question. It should be "you're" a contraction for "you are."
