The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough

Book • 2011

In Marry Him, Lori Gottlieb explores the dilemma many women face in reconciling their desire for a husband and family with overly complicated lists of must-haves and deal-breakers.

Gottlieb shares her own journey in search of romantic fulfillment, gathering insights from marital researchers, matchmakers, dating coaches, behavioral economists, neuropsychologists, sociologists, couples therapists, divorce lawyers, and clergy.

The book emphasizes the importance of focusing on qualities like kindness, values, compatibility, empathy, and communication over superficial traits.
