Marry him

Author Name: Lori Gottlieb

You have a satisfying job, a great apartment, and wonderful friends. So what if you still haven't found the "man" you've got in mind? He'll show up one day, you say, right? But... what if he doesn't? Or what if that man is right in front of you, but you've passed him by and overlooked him? Lori Gottlieb, who's over 40 and still single, asks: What qualities are essential to lasting romantic satisfaction? And are we looking for them in our relationships? Does over-scrutiny lead us to trivial matters and overlook the important ones? In this book, Gottlieb explores a very common dilemma: How do you reconcile the desire for a happy marriage with a list of must-haves and unacceptable qualities? It's a very complex list! In seeking to answer this question, Gottlieb embarks on a journey of love research among scientists, doctors, and marriage researchers, as well as among married and single women and men from different generations. It is an exploratory journey into the world of modern romantic relationships, a profound, funny, painful, and always honest journey, a journey that reveals insight and alerts single women to the necessity of a realistic view when choosing (a good enough man).
