Not His Princess

“You deserve a man who treats you like a princess.”

How often are women given this advice? It is a call to raise your standards and settle for nothing less than the man who makes all your dreams come true. We’re to give up on the unworthy men who don’t romance us every step of the way, and focus on attaining the man who sees what we truly deserve and provides it. Not only is this idea fully accepted in our culture, but it has been wholeheartedly embraced by many in the church. We are told that we are “daughters of the King,” and that as such we are entitled to a man who treats us like a princess. It is no less than God’s will and desire for our lives that we have the Prince Charming for whom our hearts long. If we wait and pray and don’t lower our standards, God will grant us the prince He has promised as our right as His daughters.

But when you say you deserve a man who treats you like a princess, what does that mean?
