 Margaret and Dwight Peterson , an American married couple who are Christian Studies professors at Eastern University , teach a course together called " Christian Marriage " and were very critical of When God Writes Your Love Story . They responded to the Ludys ' book by writing an essay called " God Does Not Want to Write Your Love Story . " They write therein that , while they read When God Writes Your Love Story , " it began to dawn on us with particular clarity how different these stories of romance are from any traditionally Christian understanding of marriage . " In response to Leslie Ludy 's recommendation that a single woman should seek to be God 's princess until becoming the princess of a human prince , the Petersons argue that this analogy makes young people see marriage as a fantasy comparable to that of Disney Princesses , and that this fantasy often results in disappointment . While referencing When God Writes Your Love Story specifically on several occasions , the Petersons acknowledge that the Ludys ' book is one of many books with this premise and write that " it is the entire genre that is problematic . "
