 Colón and Field compare When God Writes Your Love Story to Derek Prince 's God Is a Matchmaker , and argue that Prince 's book better expresses the concept that God allows some people to receive their soulmates quickly , while requiring others to undergo a long wait . While the Ludys ' book suggests that it is worth waiting for a soulmate because the wait indicates a better prize , Colón and Field favour Prince 's reasons for advocating waiting for one 's soulmate , which are that doing so tests one 's faith and that " God has required many of His choicest servants to wait long periods for the fulfillment of His promise or purpose .
