Dear Wendy:
I'm single, Jewish and desperate to
get married. I feel like I've dated every
available man on the planet. I think it
might be time to settle for and marry
with less-than-perfect passion. Is there
anything wrong with that?
— Ready To Settle
Sounds like a plan. First, find some-
one you think you can tolerate. Then,
take the lucky man out for a quiet dinner
and tell him the good news: "I've decided
to marry you. I'm not madly in love with
you. In fact, I don't love you at all, and I
think I'm getting a lot less than I deserve.
But let's hurry and set the date so we can
book the hall."
A marriage should be based on total
honestly, after all. ❑
