The Commitment

Father’s Commitment

Recognizing my responsibilities to God and my daughter, I will strive to maintain the highest standards of purity in my own life in thought, word, and deed.

Because I recognize my own susceptibility to sin, and because I love my daughter unconditionally, I will always be willing to rescue her from difficult situations, saving questions for later. I will strive to communicate with her in a gentle and understanding way when she shares her soul with me.

Recognizing that God uses my authority over my daughter to protect her, I will give her guidance regarding relationships with men, including her dress, her conduct, and her choices. I will also support her efforts to maintain purity with my physical and emotional support.

Daughter’s commitment

Recognizing my responsibilities to God and others, I will strive to maintain the highest standards of purity in thought, word, and deed.

Focusing on my relationship with the Lord, I will strive to protect my heart so that when and if I marry, I may give it in purity to my husband.

Recognizing my father has special insight as a man himself, and that God protects me through his leadership, I will listen carefully to his advice about my relationships with men, and respond to his leadership until I am under the leadership of my husband.
