I recently watched a DVD entitled To Be One. This movie shows three young couples who discuss the process they took to get to the marriage alter. In this day and age of dating beginning at 12 or so, it is refreshing to see young couples who are saving themselves in heart and mind for the one to whom God would lead them. Each of these "premarriage" stories is different and each of the weddings have very different elements, but that's ok. We are all unique people and don't have to do every thing this same way as our neighbors. Praise God that we are all different. What a boring place this world would be if everyone looked and thought the same.
If you have young people you are training to keep themselves pure in heart and mind until marriage, I recommend watching To Be One. It is so great to see real people who are going through the process and to get some insight into why they are walking this path.

Thank you for mentioning this DVD. I am planning to get a copy for my children. My two older children are 14 and 12. It is surprising how many people ask them (and they even ask my 7-year-old!) if they have boyfriends and girlfriends! I want them to wait for the person God intends for them to marry before they have any kind of serious relationship. That is something that many people now days don't think is important, though. I enjoyed your post. :)
