If you can't accept a man at his worst, you don't deserve him at his best" = if you can't love someone when things are bad, you don't deserve to love them when things are good.

"We didn't get here overnight" = it took a long time for us to reach the point we are currently at.

For instance, a CEO of a famous company might say, "this all started off as an idea, and it took a lot of hard work. We didn't get here overnight."
here meaning success.

If you can't love someone during the hard times, you don't deserve to be with them during the good times. Like the traditional American marriage vows say:

". . . to have and to hold from this day forward; for better or for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health . . ."

@Millyyllim: thank you very much!
I got it!
I thought "here overnight" is a metaphor which means about the facts of life
