This is a really sweet contribution we recieved awhile back, and included it in our summer 2006 newsletter. We later decided to put it on our website, and it became a favorite among members...
A letter to my future husband
By Priceless Purity member, Jaimie Fike
This is for all you girls. It's a challenge. A challenge to not only stay pure, but to make strong, clear commitments. It's a challenge to begin loving your husband even now, no matter what you age. I want to challenge you to write a letter to your future husband, and to hold nothing back. Write down what you want and what you are going to give. That way, you will have something tangible to be able to refer to when things get tough. You will be able to look at the letter and know that there is only one guy that that letter is meant for, and it will give you the strength to wait for him. I have done this, and would like to share it with all of you.
To the One:
Though I don't know who you are yet, I feel compelled to put on paper what I fell in my heart. You see, I think about you constantly. Do I know you now? Do you think about me as much as I think about you? Have you made the same commitments to me, that I've made to you? These questions plague my heart. I pray that God gives you strength to stand against the temptations of this world. I know it's hard, I struggle too. But because we struggle, that makes the reward that much sweeter in the end. I've promised myself, you and God that I will save myself for you. Not just physically, as so many do, but emotionally as well. I promise to not only save my body for you, but my heart and mind also.. On our wedding day, I don't want my past relationships to cause all the "what-if's" to run through my mind. I don't want my tears wated on someone who isn't you. I don't want my heart attached to anyone but you. I can only pray that you've done the same.
I long for the day when God reveals you to me, my lover, my best friend, the person I'll spend the rest of my life with. I pray for you daily, pray that He blesses you, pray that He uses you in a great and mighty way, pray that He gives you comfort and peace through difficult times. I pray for our future together, that it would forever be centered around Him. You see, our love must be of God and only of God, or it could never last, and I can't bear the thought of our love not lasting. I pray that the day comes quickly when I can look into your eyes and know that you're the one. the one I've longed for all my life. It gets harder everyday to wait, but thats what I'll do.Wait.I won't move ahead of God. I'll wait for God, for you. Because I know that on that day, when I look into your eyes and say "I do", all the years of waiting will be worth it. I also know that if you do the same for me, you'd be giving me the best wedding gift you could give, the thing you can only give away once. you'd be giving me yourself, all of yourself, and for that, I'll forever be grateful.
ALL my love,
Your Future Wife

Hey girls!
I was reading over your note to your future husband. I do the same thing, in fact I have started writing in a journal just for him. Talking with him and telling him about my life as of now. That journal is going to be presented to him the night of marriage. I think it's so neat that you girls are so committed to saving your sex for marriage as am I. I actually went to a speech and debate competition competing in persuasive talking about how we need to stay sexually pure before marriage and wait for our future spouses. It's called the Promise and the Gift.
God Bless you girls and may he continue to work through you in ways unimaginable!
