I’m so grateful to have a chance to read this book which i wish i could read earlier in my life. From the bottle of my heart, i truly thank you both Paul and Virginia for a wonderful book by God’s grace to spread the love and care of the Lord in making the most important decision in our life. Wish all the best for you and your family. God bless you!!

Loving letters from a dad for his daughters for the second important decision. These letters help me reflect on my own relationship. Whether he is the man who God has chosen for me or not? Finally, I feel thankful because of His greatest gift ever, Love.

It was truly refreshing reading about a father writing his daughters letters about what is one of the most important decisions one could ever make; marriage. Not only that, but how he wrote to them- the princesses that they truly are. About their search for Prince Charming, however he did not imply that marriage was a fairy tale where it was all happily ever after but about all different aspects. Meeting the guy, how to dress, how to interact, and how to know if he's the one- Prince Charming or if he's a frog.
Only if we all princesses had fathers to care enough to tell us about this, about how to find our Prince Charming, rather than live in the world we live in today where marriage's merely a piece of paper.

Excellent. A must read for every women considering marriage, or even not considering it. Great advice from a dad of 3 girls about why you should marry, when and what kind of man would make a great husband. Technically it might not be anything new in regards to christian values (no sex before marriage, don't be unequally yolked ect) but with a very unique viewpoint as well an in depth look at many other topics relating to marriage, such as chemistry, money, hobbies and others. Written as a series of letters to his daughters.
"It takes a great husband to be better than no husband at all." Best piece of wisdom for every women out there. Don't settle for second best.

Once again it is so nice to see Gods consistent love that Paul demonstrates through this book of letters to his daughters. This family has truly demonstrated the importance of every young girls confidence of themselves as well as their future. A great read for every parent of girls.

A loving dialog from a father to his daughters on the type of husband he desires for them. Biblically based. Good read for women and for men. Gave to the young man dating our daughter to give him a glimpse into our expectations of her husband.
