À propos de cet audio

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. Amour et romance Développement personnel Marriage Relations Romance Réussite

It was very enjoyable as I listened, I smile and keep on nodding at all the scenarios that was presented and what would happen before during and after these dates and age groups of women.

I am one of these women who has passed over many suitable but not perfect in my eyes men when I was a beauty in my prime.
Dating is definitely more difficult in your later years. Like picking from the seconds of a clothing sale or scraps from a buffet because you didn’t go right at opening time.
I wish I know this when I was in my early 20s. But yet, I was a rebel that didn’t want to be the norm... or perhaps I wanted to be. But Mr Right didn’t appear.... and present himself.

Enjoyable and true observations.

Depressing- stressful book- especially if you are a single woman… getting up there…. Kinda freaky - liked her other book much more ‘maybe you should talk to someone.’ Felt it was a bit more useful….

Get married - just settle

Not a bible but insightful, made me pause and reflect if I see my self in those girls. Being alone is not bad, nor is having a partner wrong. It is being alone and self sabotaging that is exhausting. Approaching the concept with less resentment is the key in a odd

I heard more than 50% of this book the same day I purchased it. I'm 26 and it still made me think "why did no one told me about this book earlier?".

A highly enjoyable slap of Truth
