But if it's just like Jessica says, and she's telling women to "get real" about romance, marriage, and the realities of the dating market, then that's a pretty okay message. Thanks for the comments!

I e-mailed it to some of my single friends. Because she's right, marriage is a lot of hard work, and the guys who are really exciting and thrill you are usually not the ones who want to clean up you snot tissues when your sick on the couch, or who want to spend a day at your parents house with you. It's more of a "get real" thing than anything else. And I'm going to buy the book for my friends, even if they hate me for it! I remember when the article came out!

I guess in all of us ladies, we have this fairytale wish that there will come a day a prince will sweep us off our feet. That doesn't always happen. At the same time, settling for Mr. Good Enough just doesn't sound romantic at all, and I wouldn't go for that either! (Ha, complicated, aren't we?). I would believe her more if she puts it this way: it's about finding Mr. Right Now and making him the right one for you - through commitment, hard work, patience, and a whole lot of love :) Interesting read.
