An eye-opening funny painful and always truthful in-depth examination of modern
relationships and a wake-up call for single women about getting real about Mr. Right.You have a
fulfilling job great friends and the perfect apartment. So what if you haven t found The One
just yet. He ll come along someday right? But what if he doesn t? Or what if Mr. Right had
been well Mr. Right in Front of You but you passed him by? Nearing forty and still single
journalist Lori Gottlieb started to wonder: What makes for lasting romantic fulfillment and
are we looking for those qualities when we re dating? Are we too picky about trivial things
that don t matter and not picky enough about the often overlooked things that do? In Marry Him
Gottlieb explores an all-too-common dilemma how to reconcile the desire for a happy marriage
with a list of must-haves and deal-breakers so long and complicated that many great guys get
misguidedly eliminated. On a quest to find the answer Gottlieb sets out on her own journey in
search of love discovering wisdom and surprising insights from sociologists and
neurobiologists marital researchers and behavioral economists as well as single and married
men and women of all generations.
