Modern women live with the remnants of a radical worldview that first reared its head in the 1960s — free love! sexual equality! financial independence! — and over the years spawned a tectonic shift in cultural values and mores. But most people find that a life lived unattached is no life at all.
Indeed, my inbox is loaded with messages from women who believed four lies the culture tells: that marriage plus motherhood equals jail, that women should “never depend on a man,” that sex is just sex, and that career success will (and should) define you.
Many of these same women are now picking up the pieces of a life gone awry. They either can’t find a marriageable man, or they do find a husband but are exhausted and resentful due to the relentless demands of motherhood and breadwinning.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Look at your life and prioritize what’s most important to you. If finding someone to love who will love you back matters, focus your energies there.
