The Get-Your-Man-to-Marry-You Plan: Buying the Cow in the Age of Free Milk

by Lori Uscher-Pines

What's a gal to do when her man's giving her everything she wants except a ring? This irreverent guide will help the marriage-ready woman evaluate the severity of her not-so-ready man's excuses for delaying marriage and sharpen her abilities to dismantle them. With a funny but firm hand, Lori Uscher-Pines, who herself maneuvered for a ring from her now-husband, offers the reader serious tips for securing a marriage proposal from the excuse-ridden, free-milk-gulping man she loves.

Buying the Cow in the Age of Free Milk

*How to know if it's really time to push for a ring

*The difference between me excuses, you excuses and institution of marriage excuses

*The "severity" scale of common male excuses, and the associated tactics for changing his mind

*Behavior fouls not to make on the quest for a proposal

Pushing for a proposal is about female empowerment, and this must-have guide will help the reader take control of her personal life without giving up the romantic, "then-he-got-down-on-one-knee" moment she's always imagined.

A humorous, but insightful look at problems caused when people just date and live together instead of marrying. Girls want commitment? Their boyfriends see no reason to commit when they can already get the stuff they want by living together out of wedlock.
