When my pastor's daughter was 16 or so, he and his wife bought her a nice gold ring (maybe small diamond - I forget) to wear on her left ring finger. When they gave it to her, they told her that if she ever got in a compromising spot with a boy and felt the need for love or to prove love, she was to take her thumb and feel the ring on her finger and remind herself that she already was very much loved with an unconditional love. I thought that was awesome! You could even write something on a small card to the same effect when you present this gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LadyC Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 i responded to you in the other thread.... you were posting at the time i was writing out a very LONG post in response mostly to charlie and partly to traveller. when mark and i married, he not only gave me a ring, he gave each of my girls a ring also. not cheap ones either! rana lost hers long ago, and ash had quit wearing hers because it had gotten too snug. a few months ago ashlea got it out, had it resized, and began wearing it again.

But the way things are going in the world, age 16 is way too late to do this! You gotta get them at twelve or 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if my daughter ever gets in compromising situation they will both be reminded of my wrath. lol :suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Called Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 When I have children, they will not date, until they are at an age where marriage can be a possibility. Dating has nothing to offer except hurt and temptation. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that some churches have programs where teens pledge to save themselves for marriage as a promise to God, I think they may sign a little keepsake card and they also receive a gold 'chasity ring'. This type of thing got a lot of hype in the media some years ago, because it is what pop singer Jessica Simpson did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
