But I can tell you who does exist—and believe me, he stands head and shoulders above His Highness. The Myth of Prince Charming When we’re young, we’re sold the idea of finding Prince Charming.

Wanna eavesdrop on my conversation? I’ll also be praying that you or someone you love will be blessed by this letter, and you’ll learn about choosing a spouse.
