God,

I promise to wait until marriage. I promise not to give myself away to a man You do not have destined for me, just so I can be intimate with another person. Lord, I promise to seek out Your will when it comes to the man You have created for me to spend the rest of my time with. I will prayerfully seek out the man You have for me. I will be perfectly okay with being the only one of my friends not dating somebody, because I know all things work in Your time. I will not will not rush into marriage for my own desires.

Lord, I promise to work on my relationship with You while I wait for my future husband and even after I find him. I promise to continue to pray for my future husband until I know who he is and even once I know.

I promise to be faithful to my future husband by keeping myself pure. I will do this not only with my body but also my mind and heart.

God I promise that my husband and I will grow in you together and that You will be the center of our marriage. I promise we will be faithful to You together for the rest of our days and that our love will reflect You. We will follow Your plans for us together knowing You are with us every step of the way and that we will always have each other.

I promise not to be flirty and pernicious and to establish guidelines for myself in the way I behave. I promise to be true to myself and not to conform to the world.

I promise that when I am married I will be vulnerable with my husband and let him see the most hidden parts of my heart. I promise never to hide how I am feeling from him, even if my feelings are uncomfortable to face. I promise to always be faithful and true to him and him only. I promise to pray for him daily and spend time with You together. I promise to never talk to another man in such a way that makes my husband feel uncomfortable. I promise to take our marriage vows seriously, knowing they are between us and God. I promise to not have things be about me but how I can serve him better in our marriage. I promise to always fight fair and to never intentionally hurt him. I promise to never use his past hurts or current vulnerabilities and anxieties to my advantage in an argument.

I promise that if the day comes I become a mother to parent our children together in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I promise to not have children break apart our marriage.

I promise to never go to my family or my friends with my marriage issues. I will instead consult my husband, God and maybe a marriage counselor.

I promise to never go to bed angry, but instead communicate my feelings with my husband.

I promise to never lie to him about how I feel and what is happening to me.

I promise to connect with him not just on a physical level, but an emotional and spiritual level.

I promise that if there comes such a time that my husband and I are no longer together because death did us part that I still will not break our marriage vows. I will survive in knowing I met my soulmate, the one God had intended for me and know I will be okay on my own.

God, I promise that here and now as a teenager to see all these things as true.

I promise to live these words out all the days of my life.

That even though I am young, I take this seriously.

Because this is a promise between God and I.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
