The main idea of the article is to tell single women that even if you think deep down you think dont need a husband that in reality its what you want and to not wait around for the right "one" to come along. I kinda of agree with the article because i believe you should do what you want and what you feel you need but at the same time i believe love is everlasting. Love shouldnt be something you say and not feel whether or not you have things you want like kids and a family. I think that people should be happy though. There really isnt a reason to not have a family but if you want it at least make it with a person you love.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea of this article, is teamwork, love could be a very stressful but yet exciting thing, but you have to fight for it, it just doesn't come walking up to your doorstep. I agree with Gottlieb's arguement, theres a lot a pressure out there on women, including the single ones. They know its the right thing to get married and have kids, but it really doesn't matter if the love he has for her is as strong as an ox. If he goes out of his way for the family, maybe like playing catch with his son, or changing the dipers, and helps her as maybe a teammate, its better then having no husband at all.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea of the article is to let older single woman know not to wait too long for marriage. I agree with Gottlieb's argument, there are a lot of woman that think at a certain point in there life they need to be married. There is no age limit on marriage but finding someone you can tolerate for the rest of your life is important too. It should be the way a person treats you and makes you feel not how a person looks or how you picture him in your head.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read, the main idea of the article is to get married before it is too late. I agree with the point Gottlieb makes about how much pressure there is on women to get settled down. But on the other hand, Gottlieb is talking about how marriage is teamwork rather than being a passion-fest as well. I do not fully agree with that part of what the author states because I do feel that although it is teamwork, that the person you marry should be someone you love and enjoy being with. It seems like the author is talking about more of just settling down and having a family rather than truely being happy in a marriage.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea of "Marry Him" is that for a woman to be happy in a marriage, with children, they should settle to marry a man who is not their ideal of the perfect man. I agree with Gottleib's message in this article. Society and movies have mad "true love" and marriage look like this perfect passionate thing when in reality not many can live up to that. She states that what she longs for in a marriage is "a sense of having a partner in crime", someone who knows her day-to-day trivia", and for someone to help provide financially. To me that is "true love", I wouldn't think of that as settling. Why some people think they are settling is because their spouse doesn't meet up to other people's expectations, but if he makes you happy I see no problem with settling.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea of "Marry him", is not to be too picky about who you date at a young age. I agree with her stance on this argument, I think that people shouldnt always look for mr or ms right.I believe people should be happy with someone they can relate to and feel comfortable around rather than not finding anyone at all. The media does show people always looking for the most attractive person to be with instead of settling with with someone who shares your ideals on the world. I think people would be happier growing old with a spouse rather than maturing all alone.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea for "marry him" was that people sholunt be too picky on who they are gonna spend their life with because growing old and alone is not healthy. People should date and start looking for a life partner and have kids at a younger age. I don't agree on marrying just for the marriage but I do beloved you could find someone you love. Everyone is going to have differences. I don't think couples shouldnt marry unless they have a strong bond and have similar things in common. Looking for the perfect mate is not going to be easy and chances are your not going to get all that you wish for. Don't settle for less but make sure you do find someone. Have kids too.
ReplyDeleteThe author clearly stated that she wanted to have a child before she found mr. right because her biological clock was ticking. She says how it is better to settle for what is good enough than to find mr. right. When women are in their thirty's all of them want to settle down. Women tend to have the perfect guy laid out, but in reality that guy doesn't exist. It is easier to settle for a decent guy than the perfect guy. You can spend more time with your kids instead of working and never seeing your kids. Marriage is about teamwork.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea for "marry him" is that it is really up to the reader to decide if this is the choice for her or him. The writer states her own ideas that she decided to have a kid from a donor and not get married because she didn't want to waste time. In my opinion I think that she should have atleast had a guy. Women do settle for less, but not less than they deserve. I agree with this article.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea for "Marry Him" is that woman shouldn't be so picky with guys. They fatasize that their is a good guy out their, or a "Mr. Right", but if you look at how guys are now and days, there really isn't a "Mr. Right" out in the world today. I don't agree on woman maryying a guy just because they feel it's what they have to do. I think a woman should be happy married or being single, but if they do get married I think it should be with somone you know you could spend the rest of your life with and someday have kids with. Marriage is about being happy with your "true love" and not being with somebody you don't have feelings for or don't truly love.
ReplyDeleteThe thesis for "Marry Him" is that you need to settle when it comes to marriage or else it might be to late. I don't agree with the argument that Gottlieb make when she says not to be picky when it comes to falling in love and that you should just settle. I feel that if you settle you will never be truly happy and you will be almost living a lie. I would rather never get married than force myself upon somebody who might actually really be in love with me. You can really hurt someone and even if the truth never came out you would be living a fake life
ReplyDeleteTHE MAIN IDEA OF "MARRY HIM" IS TO SETTLE WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE. I AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR BECAUSE THERE IS A POINT IN EVERYONES LIFE WHERE THEY BECOME DESPERATE FOR CAMPANIONSHIP. THOUGH THEY CONSTANTLY FIND NEW FLAWS ON THERE SPOUSES AND THEY LOOK FOR NEW EXCUSES TO NOT MARRY THEM THEY DESPERATE WANT THEM TO BE THE "ONE". EVEN THOUGH SETTLING ISNT LOOKED AT AS HAPPILY EVER AFTER IT COULD VERY WELL TURN OUT TO BE THE BEST SITUATION YOUR COULD END UP IN.
ReplyDeletebasically what she was trying to point out was that girls should not be so picky with the right guy. They should settle eralier in life and not waith around for the perfect guy becasue no ones perfect. i do agree with her, i do belive there is a lot of girls out there who want the pretty guy and thats just not the case, looks shouldnt matter at all. If theres someone in your life who makes you feel like yourself and comfortable about yourself around him then thats the guy for you, thats what i believe.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea of “Marry Him” is that women are too picky about finding the guy to marry. Mr. Right is hard to find. She talks about how independent women want to marry and if they say they don’t they are either in denial or lying. If you have found a guy that is good enough but lacks in some area don’t just throw him away. Once you get to a certain age Mr. Good Enough sounds more like a reward than a settlement. I agree with her to a certain point. I truly believe that some independent women want to stay single. But there are those women who hope that they had a marriage, a person to share things with, and a family.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Lori Gottlied because sometimes you wait for Mr.right and he never comes around. Thats because we expect Mr.Right to be perfect and that is impossible to find in a guy. Maybe you are dating a typical guy who is good enough to marry and that you love ;Lori states that you should just settle because most woman end up unhappy and old by the time they realize that they should have just stayed with Mr.Good enough. So, Why wait? Settle!
ReplyDeleteThe main point of Marry Him is that settling for a somewhat decent spouse is better than being on a constant search for your soulmate and never finding them.
ReplyDeleteI respect Lori Gottlieb's opinion but I do not agree. While her point is valid and she puts up a good argument for it, it just seems like a miserable and unsatisfying life. I personally believe that her approach is “the easy way out”. Settling is, in my opinion, selling yourself short. The best things in life are worth waiting for. Also for those who want kids, I think it is wrong to bring children into a loveless marriage. Even young children can tell when their parents are just going through the motions and I think that it affects them negatively when it comes to their own relationships later on in life.so dont settle, wait to find that person that you just cant live without.
