How to bag yourself a husband

Are you over 30 and not found Mr Right? Maybe you're not selling yourself right. A new self-help book tells you how to get into the marriage market, but can we Brits get with The Program? Rachel Roberts reports

The basement room of the fashionable London club is in darkness, save from the glint of desperation flashing from the whites of the eyes of 60 women.

They're not members of Alcoholics Anonymous, but members of a much more secretive - and more taboo - club. They are all over 30 years old, and - whisper it - single and on a mission to find Mr Right...

The group has gathered here tonight to hear the woman dubbed the singleton's saviour, Rachel Greenwald speak. Author of The Program: Fifteen Steps To Finding A Husband After 30, tonight, Rachel's divulging the secret of how to meet and marry a man.

Rachel goes for maximum impact to get the women's attention. 'This is marriage 999 - it's an emergency. There are more single women after 30 now than ever before, and fewer single men.'

You can almost hear the despondent inner-voices of 60 females saying, 'Tell us something we didn't already know, love'.

Most of the attendees of the seminar are here because despite their best efforts to meet and marry a man, they're still looking. And they are impatient for Rachel to get to the Holy Grail of The Program. It's seductive stuff: she claims that 80 per cent of her private clients who have stuck with The Program have tied the knot within 12-18 months.
