While the first book focuses on initial attraction, Why Men Marry Bitches addresses long-term commitment. Argov argues that the same traits that create attraction also create marital desire. Men do not marry the woman who is “easy” or desperate; they marry the woman who has standards.

Sherry Argov’s back-to-back bestsellers, Why Men Love Bitches (2002) and Why Men Marry Bitches (2006), have sparked both acclaim and controversy. At first glance, the titles suggest misandry or aggression. However, Argov redefines the word “bitch” not as a mean or cruel woman, but as a woman who is —one who refuses to lose herself in a relationship. This paper argues that Argov’s core thesis is a pragmatic guide for women to cultivate personal power, which in turn fosters healthier, more respectful romantic relationships and leads to long-term commitment.
