I have to admit first that I skimmed the article. It got old, and I'm pretty sure I got the idea.
Its unfortunate that anyone (men or women) feel the need to settle. But, to each their own, it just depends on what someone wants out of life. If all you really need is a husband and a child, than that may work for you. I think that's what this woman is saying.
I'm only in my early twenties, but I can't imagine marrying someone for the sake of having a husband. Maybe that's because I almost did. We all learn what's right and wrong for us through the mistakes we make, and because of that experience, I won't allow myself to marry someone if they're not exactly what I need/want. After my breakup I spent a lot of time trying to make myself happy without the aid of other people, and its working. While I don't want to be single for the rest of my life, I'd rather be single and happy than together and miserable.
Of course the ideal is to be together and happy.
