Book Description

Publication Date: February 17, 1998

Are you tired of going to weddings instead of having one? Here is a unique and empowering guide to meeting and marrying the right man -- for women 35 and older who don't want to leave their chances for true love in the hands of fate.

In How to Get Married After 35: A Game Plan for Love, Helena Hacker Rosenberg, a relationship consultant who got married in her 40s, offers a concrete program to help singles maximize their opportunities for marriage. Achieving the goal of the book's title requires a strong commitment, for after 35 we often succumb to habit and routine -- the twin enemies of those seeking a mate in midlife. Now you can change course and be on your way to success -- and even have fun in the process!

The author's fresh, step-by-step approach to finding lasting love is drawn from her own experience and the experience of scores of other women whose stories she shares. Whether you're looking to marry for the first time or hoping to remarry, How to Get Married After 35 leads you through the process with sensitivity and humor and shows you how to:

Take personal responsibility for your lifeFocus on your goal and clarify what's in your wayDetermine what you need in a partnerKnow how to recognize him once you meet himAvoid men who are destructive or unmarriageable

Finally, with wisdom and encouragement, Helena Hacker Rosenberg offers practical advice on where to find eligible men (they do exist!), how to assess a man for his marriage potential and why marrying the man of your choice after 35 has almost nothing to do with luck.

If you have marriage on your mind, read How to Get Married After 35 and take the most important step on your journey to the altar.

This review is from: How to Get Married After 35: A Game Plan for Love (Paperback)

I was pleased with the book -- it's well-organized and upbeat and the lists of questions Rosenberg asks are helpful.

I do think she is overly rigid on her views about what she considers unhealthy "addictions" but her point is well made that those of us who want to get married ought to examine compartmentalizing our work lives better.

She also seems to have a very limited view of peoples' relationships with their pets -- in my opinion the guy with the dog "Elvira" was fortunate that his relationship with the author didn't progress. I got the sense that she views relationships with animals as very "second-class" and I certainly don't agree with that.

Overall, though, I am glad I ordered the book and expect to loan it to friends.

This book is well worth reading even if you're under 35. I really appreciate Rosenberg's balanced approach. She aims the book at accomplished, well-educated, independent women, but she makes it clear that she values marriage, parenting, religion, and other traditional values that seem to be given short shrift in many books about relationships. This is also a highly literate book-- Rosenberg illustrates her points with examples from literature and popular culture as well as her clients' stories, and includes a short bibliography for further reading.

This review is from: How to Get Married After 35: A Game Plan for Love (Paperback)

I'll admit I didn't expect too much when I purchased this book. I thought it might end up to be very superfical and blame me for not being married at my current age. How surprise I was to find out that was not the case at all! This book puts getting married in to proper perspective. Without blaming anyone or giving quick fix advice on how to "find that special one" it breaks down the ultimate objective step-by-step. The books asks you some hard questions - "Do you want to get married or does someone else want you to get married?" It makes you examine yourself truthfully and gives control where it belongs - in your own hands. I am very eager to try out what I've learned. Read this book - it'll change you like it changed me!
