She had one boyfriend at 14 and after that she said no more. She waited. She had qualities she wanted in her man and if a guy who showed interest didn't have them, she didn't want to enter into a relationship that was any more than friendship. Two years ago, she met her 'one. The one God had ordained and set aside for her. It wasn't all chocolates and roses, but what relationship is? Two weeks ago, they were united under a clear blue sky, in the presence of God, family and friends. To wait and truly know the rewards of that sacrifice is priceless. You will know when he comes along. And it will be worth it!

When I was 16 I started dating this guy but knew for sure he wasn't "the one" it was important for me to not tell someone "I love you" unless I really meant it. I could never mean it with this person so I could never say those words. I'm happy to say that my future husband was the only man I ever gave that serious "I love you with my heart" words to(of course that doesn't mean I never told my dad or family that!). I've tried to stress when raising my daughters to not share pieces of their heart to every boy/man that comes onto the scene. I used the illustration of the box of candy. Every time you share an intimate part of yourself with someone it is like taking a bite of the candy and putting it back in the box. When you eventually marry what kind of box are you going to give your man? One that has many pieces of you with bites out of all the pieces or are you going to be able to share a full beautiful box all wrapped up and ready to present to your future spouse? <br /><br />I applaud you Casey and other young women like you that are committed to their future spouse.

And it's a fine line between giving it away and sharing what makes us...us. That is why we ask for wisdom and discernment.
