Librarian Bob has reviewd this highlighted novel from the New York Times.
Gottlieb, Lori. Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough.
Have women in an age of feminist empowerment locked themselves out of lasting relationships? Do men who failed to live up to a checklist of impossible standards for a mate have another opportunity? Gottlieb believes both answers are "YES!" and first shows how her "Ideal" cheated her out of rewarding unions. She then recounts the experiences of other women whose frustrations were born out of a heightened self-image that see themselves in Gottlieb's words as "too good for an ordinary relationship." Interviews with clergy, psycholologists, professional matchmakers and speed dating operators round out this candid view of romance that gladly is not without hope.
