Some can even go as far as to say the person they were with before wasn’t good enough and did not live up to their expectations. They can often be overheard saying things such as, “I need a man with a very well-paying job, no kids, time to take me on romantic dates and money to treat me to spa dates on a monthly basis.” Most women aren’t married not because men do not hold up to their standards and or needs, but because some women are over critical and have high expectations.

    For Better, For Worse Stephanie Coontz wrote in the article “For better, For Worse: Marriage Means Something Different Now”, that marriage has changed recently, the values are not the same as they were in the 1960’s.
