“روي أن عبد القاهر بن عبد العزيز قال للشافعي يوما: أيما أفضل الصبر أو المحنة أو التمكين؟ فقال الشافعي رحمه الله: التمكين درجة الأنبياء، ولا يكون التمكين إلا بعد المحنة، فإذا امتحن صبر وإذا صبر مكن؛ ألا تري أن الله عز وجل امتحن إبراهيم عليه السلام ثم مكنه، وامتحن موسي عليه السلام ثم مكنه، وامتحن أيوب عليه السلام ثم مكنه، وامتحن سليمان عليه السلام ثم مكنه وآتاه ملكا، والتمكين أفضل الدرجات، قال الله عز وجل (وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنِّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ) وأيوب عليه السلام بعد المحنة العظيمة مكن، قال الله تعالي (وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ)”

“I'm sure that if woman laid out the rules- requirements- early on, and let her intended know that he could either rise up to those requirements, or just move on. A directive like that signals to a man that you are not a plaything-someone to be used and discarded. It tells him that what you have- your benefits- are special, and that you need time to get to know him and his ways to decide if he DESERVES them.
The man who is willing to put in the time and meet the requirments is the one you want to stick around, because tthat guy is making a conscious decision that he, too, has no interest in playing games and will do what it takes to not only stay on the job, but also get promoted and be the proud beneficiary of your benefits. And you, in the meantime, win the ultimate prize of maintaing your dignity and self-esteem, and earning the respect of the man who recognized that you were worth the wait.”
