Produktbeschreibung
In an eye-opening, brutally honest, often funny, sometimes painful journey that culminates in a redefining of romance, Gottlieb expands on her 2008 article in "The Atlantic" that explores women's acceptance of Mr. Good-Enough rather than waiting for Prince Charming.
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, from the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.

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.

Rezensionen
Praise for Marry Him

An unexpected delight. Lori Gottlieb offers herself up as Exhibit A that s A for Alone in this unsparing exploration of the contemporary mating scene. Part cautionary memoir, part field study, her account of her own stalled search for a husband is honest and darkly comic...The truth isn t pretty, but it can be liberating. The New York Times Book Review

Marry Him shows women how to find true happiness when seeking love by giving them a new way to look at the world. Gottlieb manages to be hilarious yet thought-provoking, light-hearted yet profound on the questions of: Why do we fall in love? What qualities really matter in a marriage? For what reasons do we make the decisions that affect our whole lives? Marry Him will set people talking for years. Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project
