I want to make a marriage commitment to God. I heard about this purity ring thing along time ago and I was just reminded of it the other day. I want to get one. For those that dont know, a little background:
Purity rings (also known as chastity rings or promise rings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promise_ring)) originated in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) in the 1990s among Christian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian) affiliated sexual abstinence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_abstinence) groups. The rings are sold to adolescents, or to parents so that the rings may be given to their adolescent children as gifts.
Wearing a purity ring is typically accompanied by a religious (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious)vow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vow) to practice celibacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celibacy) until marriage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage). The ring is usually worn on the left ring finger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_finger) (but can be worn on the right ring finger) with the implication that the wearer will remain abstinent until it is replaced with a wedding ring. There is no particular style for purity rings; however, many worn by Christians have a cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross) in their design in reference to the crucifixion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion) of Jesus Christ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ). There can be sayings engraved onto the rings such as 'True Love Waits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Love_Waits)' or 'One Life One Love'.
If you could have a purity ring, what would you want it to say? I see alot of great ones and my likes right now are:
Purity
True Love Waits
I have decided
I will wait for my beloved
I have found a scripture to solidify the convenant either. Im still searching for the one that expresses my heart to God. Any suggestions?
ETA:
I decided on this one.
