Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough
An eye-opening, funny, painful, and always truthful in-depth examination of modern relationships and a wake-up call for single women about getting real about Mr. Right.
You have a fulfilling job, great friends, and the perfect apartment. So what if you haven€t found €œThe One€ just yet. He€ll come along someday, right?  But what if he doesn€t? Or what if Mr. Right had been, well, Mr. Right in Front of You€"but you passed him by? Nearing forty and still single, journalist Lori Gottlieb started to wonder: What makes for lasting romantic fulfillment, and are we looking for those qualities when we€re dating? Are we too picky about trivial things that don€t matter, and not picky enough about the often overlooked things that do?  In Marry Him, Gottlieb explores an all-too-common dilemma€"how to reconcile the desire for a happy marriage with a list of must-haves and deal-breakers so long and complicated that many great guys get misguidedly eliminated. On a quest to find the answer, Gottlieb sets out on her own journey in search of love, discovering wisdom and surprising insights from sociologists and neurobiologists, marital researchers and behavioral economists€"as well as single and married men and women of all generations.
