Vanity, Vanity, Thy Name is Woman.

It may be a misquote, but it seemed appropriate.
You can't really create a good husband for geniuses only occur ever so often. So, you have the knowledge and sense to attract someone who is like yourself for opposites do not attract. It's a proven psychological fact. We tend to draw people similar to ourselves. And those who don't, will never be able to create a good husband. We are who we are- and you can't change that in a person. Even if you could, you'd be asking too much and that wouldn't be the person you really love and respect, because you'd want to change them into something they are not.
de Balzac makes a good point, as i am sure that a woman who is not supportive of her husbands efforts might bring him down, but that is not to say that some have survived having chosen a wife who did nothing but cause them stress and managed to make out like a bandit.

this quote gives no credit to the man for being a good man in the first place.
as if a man needs to be forced to become something worthy of respect by society, and that only a woman who married him was able to force him to be worthy of her love.

no, i dont like it or its implications.

i find the quote offensive to men and borderline misandrous.

now it makes me want to question the sexuality of Balzac
That a woman must be clever in dealing with her husband.
