Book Review:
Why Men Marry Some Women And Not Others, John T. Molloy
Bestselling author John T. Molloy delivers a groundbreaking book based on scientific research that shows women how they can improve their chances of getting married. John T. Molloy's research has helped women get ahead in the corporate world for years. In fact, his methods have worked so well that many women began asking how to apply these same techniques to get ahead in their personal lives - specifically, to find and marry Mr. Right. This book is the result of over 2,000 interviews with married couples and over 1,800 unmarried men and women. Molloy's remarkable study reveals: exactly what women need to do to make their boyfriends pop the question, the top signs a relationship is bound for the altar - or bound for disaster, how to identify which men are the "marrying kind" and which definitely are not, and much more. Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others will turn frustrated bachelorettes everywhere into blushing brides!

I am definitely approaching the marrying age (okay, I approached it), but I am not looking for Mr. Right anytime soon. I still have a few good years of getting my groove on before I jump the broom.
That being said, I was kindly provided with a copy of Why Men Marry Some Women And Not Others: The Fascinating Research That Can Land You the Husband of Your Dreams from Warner Books. I wasn't sure if I was the right person to read this book, especially since I'm not a fan of those how-to-land-a-man type of books. But I agreed to read it and keep an open mind.
The author, John T. Molloy, and his staff asked 2,500 engaged couples and over 1,000 single people a series of questions about their love life, and their responses were analyzed, researched, and compiled into this book.
This book basically gives women some insight as to why some men pop the question to certain women and not others. A man's age/maturity level, financial status, along with his thoughts about marriage and relationships are key factors.
Each chapter provides some info that women need to be aware of. For example, just because your man says that he's not ready to get married, does not mean that he ain't trying to marry you! It just means he's not ready at that precise moment.
It is also jam-packed with tips (or acts of desperation) for women to meet that special someone (be sure to smile, look good/not trashy and be confident, etc.). This book also gives advice to those women who need to let their man know that their final destination is the altar. (Read: women need to be direct and to the point - dropping hints will not work.)
My favourite part of the book is that it broke down the stages of a successful relationship. The author was sure to say that it is not mandatory for every couple go through the stages, but each stage contributes to a better functioning relationship. And as a result, the relationship should lead to marriage.
I would recommend this book to women who are already in a relationship, and want to know how to get their boyfriends to propose. I wouldn't suggest it to women who are seeking men, as I felt some of the information was stuff any single gal should know (i.e. if you want to meet men, be more social).
The advice is good, as the author includes the male point of view, which is very helpful!! I wish I had known some of this information ages ago. Psst - men think about marriage too, but will never bring up the topic if you don't say anything.
Yo grrls, if you've been dating your man for as long as you can remember and he needs some prodding with regards to the marriage department, pick up this book. ¤ Michelle
