Summary

Suzanne discusses the fallout of the four lies our culture tells women, which represent Part One of Suzanne's new book, How to Get Hitched (and Stay Hitched): A 12-Step Program for Marriage-Minded Women.

1:40 The Four Lies:

- Marriage + Motherhood = Jail

- Women should never depend on a man

- Sex is just sex

- Career success will and should define them

1:50 The women who fell for these lies are now dealing with the fallout (They either can’t find a marriageable man or they do find one and are unable to have children the natural way or stay home with their children)

2:30 Feminists want women in the workforce so they can push their political agenda of government sponsored day care and paid leave. This is not what most women want!

3:10 The birth rate is the lowest it has been in a century

4:30 There's so much more than money when it comes to mapping out a life that works

5:30 Follow the man’s career path because he is going to end up feeding the family, if only temporarily

6:00 Stop moving through the world like your body and life will be the same as a man’s

7:10 Put marriage and motherhood at the center of your life and build everything else around that

7:50 Marriage doesn’t change things as much as having a baby does

8:30 Women do not become more “eligible” with age

9:00 Plan ahead, and be flexible!

0:25.0	Women in particular are groomed for a life centered on career and on being fiercely independent, as though marriage and family were a nice idea or a possible accompaniment to an otherwise satisfying life.

1:39.7	ignite a much-needed debate about the misplaced priorities of the modern generation. The superwoman
1:45.3	ideal with which women have been raised is not sustainable in real life. Women can, however,
1:50.4	have most of what they want if they pursue it in piecemeal fashion and in the right order.
