Find a woman who will respect you even when you're at your lowest point.

This is how a good wife can bring you to the next level. Respect is what gets you to become a better man, a better father, a better worker and earner.

The women that demand that you earn their respect is one you don't want to get involved with, because that's almost always going to be a moving goalpost. It's also a significant divorce risk as the lack of respect is contempt, one of the biggest predictors.
