Über diesen Titel

Lori Gottlieb discusses Marry Him in a video on The Atlantic website.

You have a fulfilling job, a great group of friends, the perfect apartment, and no shortage of dates. So what if you haven't found The One just yet. Surely he'll come along, right?

But what if he doesn't? Or even worse, what if he already has, but you just didn't realize it?

Suddenly finding herself forty and single, Lori Gottlieb said the unthinkable in her March 2008 article in The Atlantic: Maybe she and single women everywhere, needed to stop chasing the elusive Prince Charming and instead go for Mr. Good Enough.

Looking at her friends' happy marriages to good enough guys who happen to be excellent husbands and fathers, Gottlieb declared it time to reevaluate what we really need in a partner. Her ideas created a firestorm of controversy from outlets like the Today show to The Washington Post, which wrote, "Given the perennial shortage of perfect men, Gottlieb's probably got a point," to Newsweek and NPR, which declared, "Lori Gottlieb didn't want to take her mother's advice to be less picky, but now that she's turned forty, she wonders if her mother is right." Women all over the world were talking. But while many people agreed that they should have more realistic expectations, what did that actually mean out in the real world, where Gottlieb and women like her were inexorably drawn to their "type"?

That's where Marry Him comes in.

By looking at everything from culture to biology, in Marry Him Gottlieb frankly explores the dilemma that so many women today seem to face--how to reconcile the strong desire for a husband and family with a list of must-haves so long and complicated that many great guys get rejected out of the gate. Here Gottlieb shares her own journey in the quest for romantic fulfillment, and in the process gets wise guidance and surprising insights from marital researchers, matchmakers, dating coaches, behavioral economists, neuropsychologists, sociologists, couples therapists, divorce lawyers, and clergy--as well as single and married men and women, ranging in age from their twenties to their sixties.

Marry Him is an eye-opening, often funny, sometimes painful, and always truthful in-depth examination of the modern dating landscape, and ultimately, a provocative wake-up call about getting real about Mr. Right.

Listening to this book brings back memories of talking with (female) friends as to why they can't find "the right one". Thoroughly enjoyed it and there are some very good tips in the book.
Cudos for the vocal performer.

Very recognizable

Life changing

The book has some interesting research, but the main argument isn’t something surprising. It was entertaining and well argued. I feel like it kept on making the same point though: having “superficial/unrealistic standards/expectations”. It didn’t elaborate enough for me on what those values that do matter actually are and how you can define them for you clearly, or how much flexibility can be given there. It also assumed that all women think “better of themselves” - worth marrying a star. But I think it overlooks the other group of women who have a list for the “perfect man” that comes with other items or are in fact more realistic. It also didn’t explore the “why” behind all this deeply. This could have been a much deeper book. The subject is very interesting. The performance really great.

Entertaining but one-sided

if this book makes you angry then well ypu won't meet anyone. you can be happy single so nothing wrong with that

she's right- sincerely a happily married late 30s woman

"convenient" research and lettle depth or due diligence for context in interpreting the statistic quoted. purely anecdotal and superficial.

very two dimensional and superficial
