The answer is esteem needs.

Explanation:

Dennis has already satisfied the first three levels of needs: physiological (he has enough money to eat), safety (he lives in a safe neighborhood) and love/belonging (he is happily married). The next logical step is esteem needs.

Esteem needs are based on self-esteem, self-respect and social interaction factors such as recognition and attention. Satisfying these needs usually leads to people feeling more confident about themselves.
