For us to treat our MOTHERS and SISTERS in our family with LOVE in order for us to prepare to LOVE our future wife correctly even if our MOTHER and SISTER don't give the RESPECT back to me. Is God waiting for me to perfect this, so he can bring me my helper?

The women in your life are preparing you for the hell of being married. There are so many times that my wife gives me little or no respect. Get use to it.

While I believe it would be an excellent idea to first work on yourself before looking for a marriage mate, I do not believe God is withholding one from you. Perhaps your attitudes or behaviors have scared some off or you just haven't looked hard enough. Your marriage (when it happens) will last longer and be happier if you respect everyone and especially your family members, regardless of how they treat you.

You should treat your family members with great respect whether or not you are going to get married or not. The Bible never lets us off the hook because someone else treats us bad, we are still only responsible for our own actions and will only have to account for ourselves when we stand before God.
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

You are to treat everyone with love and forgiveness. Remember the commandment love thy neighbor as you love me (GOD)Remember God loves us all and forgives us and he teaches us how importnant family is. So it is very important to treat our mother and sister with love. My mom and sister(one of them are passed away. So show them all the love while you can. Even if they dont show it back to you.

God's commandment is to honor our father and mother. Period. Not to honor them if they honor us. I will be judged on what I do or don't do. Others will be judged on what they do or don't do. If I don't do what God has commanded of me, He won't accept as an excuse that others didn't do what they were commended to do either. Obviously honoring people who don't honor you is a lot harder than honoring people who do honor you. But Jesus never said it would be easy to do what is right. He said, "if you would be my disciple, take up your cross and follow Me".

Maybe. There is lesson to be learned in every situation. You have to do your part (what God commands of you). We have to love others even when they hurt us, mistreat us, or don't care for us. We develop more in the will of God for our lives when we obey Him.

As A Christian, your supposed to follow Jesus, not punishment laws, which are what you refer to. Jesus said "love one another" period. However, if your family is not following Jesus, your not obligated to go to hell for them.
