to love and cherish forever. What is a promise made of? Trust and commitment. In our churches there was always an opportunity for the teenagers to make a promise to God that they would commit themselves fully to Him and abstain from sex and sexual acts. Promise Rings were always given out to the guys and the gals to put on their ring finger so that they would never forget the vows they made to God.
There is a wedding ceremony of sorts and reception afterwards. The commitment is significant because it is a way to try and crack down on pre-marital sex, teen pregnancy, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. It’s also a great moral asset to those who do commit. They are also saying that sex isn’t as important as building their lives, self esteem, self worth, and futures. It’s saying that they don’t need sex to feel loved. It’s more than a religious thing. It’s a life thing.
