For the daughter:


To the most important men in my life...


Acknowledging that God has made me in His image, made my body to be His temple, and has graciously saved me from my sin, it is my desire to please Him.


From this day forward, I, [her name], vow before my heavenly father and my earthly father, in obedience to God's Word, to keep my self pure for the man that God will allow to be my lifelong mate and friend.


I understand that my sexual purity is the greatest gift I can give to my future husband and that it is the greatest expression of love that we can share only with each other.


May this pledge, made on [date], bring honor to my parents, my future husband and ultimately, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

For the dad:



To the precious gift from God to me...


Acknowledging that God has made me in His image, made my body to be His temple, and has graciously saved me from my sin, it is my desire to please Him.


From this day forward, I, [dad's name], vow before my heavenly father and my daughter, in obedience to God's Word, to keep my self pure as the leader of my home.


I also pledge to protect her and lead her in such a way that she knows what a man after the heart of God looks like and will recognize it when she meets the young man God allows to be her lifelong mate and friend.


May this pledge, made on [date], bring honor to my daughter, my future son and ultimately, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
