Is Prince Charming Real?

Everyone knows the fairytale of Prince Charming coming to rescue the princess in distress. It’s almost every girls’ dream in some form or another. The truth is that Prince Charming is only as real s the witch or goblin in the fairy tales as well. No man can possibly live up to that standard, just like no woman can fly on a broomstick.

Let’s face it. Us men are human. We all have our flaws. We all may leave the toilet seat up, belch loudly, not get along with in-laws, snore, or maybe none of that. One thing for sure is that we will most likely never save woman from her distress, or live up to the standards of Prince Charming.

The whole idea of Prince Charming is flawed. It leaves a big hole in the middle of the relationship garden. Everyone knows how the story ends, “And they live happily ever after.” The perfect night of romance ends and real life must begin. Even the luck girls who have a “glass slipper” moment, the rest of the relationship must go one. Things cannot stay perfect forever. Prince Charming may become the Duke of Drunkenness or the Baron of Battery.

Relationships are a garden. The easy part is planting the seeds, but the real trouble starts when the seeds sprout. The seeds are no longer safe in their fortified shells. Pests and pestilence will come way of the garden. Only through hard work will the garden grow to yield its fruit. The fruit may not be perfect in all spots, but it will still be delicious all the same.

I don’t mean to sound dismal, but I feel relationships should be looked at more realistically. For those of you that do, your relationships will be more successful. Strife will come your way. Those who recognize it will be able to subdue trouble. Prince Charming will no longer be perfect, he will let you down, but the love and acceptance of the other will get you through it. He may not be Prince Charming, but he may still be the love of your life.

I am only one opinion and open for ideas.
