I’m hearing more talk about long distance
relationships. I recently spoke with a man who has a career he loves and is successful at, lives
in a supportive religious community, and enjoys many creature comforts. [I’ve seen his
picture, and he’s nice looking too!] He tells me that since he doesn’t live in New
York, Los Angeles, or Chicago, women that he has met online are rejecting him. Truthfully, this
astounds me! And it astounds him too, considering that he thought that by the time a woman is
in her 30’s, wouldn’t she want to make marriage and childbearing a priority,
regardless of the location?
So I suggested that he gear his profile toward selling his city and his lifestyle. As I’ve
disclosed previously, I have been there myself: in Los Angeles, actually, and my future husband
was in NYC. It was my choice whether or not to date him, knowing that I would have to leave my
family and burgeoning career in order to be married. Also, Rachel Greenwald, in her book,
Find a Husband After 35, makes the case for marriage-minded women to
consider moving to a city where there are more eligible men, without knowing someone in
particular to date! So, I ask women, what’s more important: location or marriage?
