Rava told the people of his community, “Honor your wives so that you will become wealthy”

~ Bava Metzia 59a

R’ Eliemech Biderman explains, that at the first sin of creation, women were cursed that their husbands would rule over them. Men were cursed with the burden of working for a parnassah. 

Therefore, if a man will relieve his wife from her curse by honoring her, and not ruling over her, he will be liberated from his curse, and won’t need to work hard to earn his parnassah. As Chazal say, “Honor your wives, so that you will become wealthy.”
