Marry Himthe Case For Settling For Mr Good Enough The Case For Settling For Mr Good Enough Lori Gottlieb by Lori Gottlieb B005652CAA instant download after payment.

Wonder why you're still single? Had you imagined you'd be settled down with the perfect man and family by now? Afraid time is running out? You might want to listen to what Lori Gottlieb has to say.
When Lori found herself forty and still single, she came to an uncomfortable realisation. If so many of her friends were very happily married to 'good enough' guys, the type of men who might not make you weak in the knees but made great partners and fathers, maybe she had been looking for the wrong man. Could her Mr Right have been, well, right in front of her all along?
Funny, confronting and very real, Marry Him is Lori Gottlieb's account of her search for a partner and the adjustments she had to make to her own expectations in order to find happiness.
'A must read for single women in their late twenties and thirties…Gottlieb is onto something, nailing critical reasons so many single women miss out on marriage and motherhood.' Bettina Arndt

Starred Review Gottlieb, 37, made the decision to become a single parent after years of searching for Mr. Right. Four years later, when she still hadn’t found him, she decided to take a good look at her dating habits—and the dating habits of women around her—to see if the problem is not a dearth of good men but rather women’s expectations of them. Gottlieb finds that women want it all—and often aren’t willing to compromise on their list of traits their ideal mate must have. In their twenties, many women leave good relationships based on an elusive feeling that they could find something more with someone else, and they regret it down the road when their choices dwindle. It’s not that women aren’t willing to settle; it’s that many refuse to recognize that their vision of the perfect man doesn’t match reality. With the help of dating coach Evan Marc Katz, Gottlieb reconsidered her own standards in the hope of finding happiness. Gottlieb’s honest, astute analysis will resonate with many women and make them uneasy as they recognize themselves in her experiences and those of the women she interviews. Gottlieb makes a strong case in this groundbreaking work. --Kristine Huntley
