Lori Gottlieb’s new book, Marry Him: The Case For Settling For Mr Good Enough, has stirred up strong reactions.
The core message of the book is that by holding on to an idealised vision of Mr Right, women risk ending up alone in later life. Fine if that is what they want, but if they want to have a lover/companion and kids then it is better for them if they lower their standards and accept a man who is almost, but not quite Mr Right.
In other words – stop waiting for the perfect man and marry the first half-decent one who’ll have you !!!
