About this ebook

“Very wise . . . Give this book to every single girlfriend [you] have.”—Marie Claire
 
If you’re looking to get married and you’re not, there’s most likely a very good reason: you. Hey, you’re certainly not a bad person! You just haven’t yet become the woman you need to be in order to have the partnership you want. That’s where this book comes in. Based on her wildly popular Huffington Post article, Tracy McMillan’s Why You’re Not Married . . . Yet dishes out no-holds-barred practical wisdom for women hoping to head down the aisle. And this new edition features even more candid advice and sisterly insight. McMillan points out the behaviors that might be in your blind spot and shows you how to adjust them to get the relationship you deserve. Do any of these chapter headings sound familiar?
 
• You’re a Bitch: How defensiveness can hide behind a tough exterior, and why being nice is never a sign of weakness.
• You’re a Liar: How to stop lying to men—and get honest with yourself—about the kind of relationship you really want.
• You’re Selfish: The big secret about marriage: It’s about giving something, not getting it.
 
A funny, insightful guide, Why You’re Not Married . . . Yet will change your life and the way you think about relationships, and it may very well lead you down the aisle.
 
“Equal parts BFF, boot-camp instructor, and relationship guru, Tracy McMillan will change the way you think about yourself and your relationships. This book is for every woman out there who wants to have a great marriage.”—Ricki Lake

Ratings and reviews

I'm currently in a going on 5-year relationship and wanted some "insight" on why I'm not married yet! Lol this isn't your typical self help, snag-a-man book; it really goes into different types or stages we as women go through whether single or dating. I found it insightful and for anyone that's willing to do some true introspection this book is for you!

It was an interesting way to view things but I felt depressed after reading it. Though that did cause me to find an inspirational book to read. So I did get something from this.

This book is very insightful and relatable it forces you to take a good look at yourself and gives doable ways of working on you
