Does a Purity ring have to say "True Love Waits"?

Question

I have a simple silver ring that my grandmother gave me and i love this ring to death. It is just a band and it has tiny circles that go all around it. I wear it on my wedding finger and i use it as my Purity ring but it doesn't say "True Love Waits." I know some have been saying that it that it shouldn't matter what it looks like. Well is that an opinion or something that is a fact, that it should have that writing on it. I know the majority of purity rings are silver. What qualifies a ring to be a Purity Ring? I know the ring is a reminder to yourself and you don't need a ring to remind yourself but i like wearing a Purity ring, its apart of who i am.

Thanks for all responses :)

Answer 2

I have no clue actually. Ive never met anyone with a purity ring. I think its kinda cool though. How old are you? Its good that your waiting. You might regret it like me! Anyways, It doesnt matter what the ring looks like, its just for meaning and symbolism  

Answer 3

hi there!

I also wear one, not a traditional one. I bought myself a silver ring and have it engraved something that has the equivalent of saying "true love waits/ i'll stay pure until I get married" sort of thing (Initials) Like most of the rings, rings have meanings that's why we put them on, a purity ring is considered a purity ring for me if it its worn because of its purpose, however it is made.. yes its a only a reminder one has vowed for herself/himself. Purity ring is also a good sign for others also what you vowed yourself with-- your own purity.

Answer 4

A purity ring doesn't have to say True Love Waits, it can be anything you want.  It is YOUR symbol.

My purity ring doesn't say True Love Waits, it actually has a bible verse inscribed in Hebrew and in English.

Song of Soloman 6:3

"I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine"

A purity ring, like you said, is a reminder to yourself, and it can be anything.  Some people have necklaces or bracelets, some people have rings.  The choice is totally optional.

Dear Curious:

I think it’s great you want to wear your commitment to stay sexually pure until marriage. I suggest Factory 79. They’re based in San Diego, Calif., and they have an entire line of True Love Waits jewelry. Get more information from their Web site: factory79.com. Of course, it’s important to remember that your commitment to purity is in your heart and mind — not a piece of jewelry. The jewelry is simply a statement of your pledge. Know, too, that anything can be used as a "True Love Waits" symbol. You don’t have to spend money to wear your commitment.

Congrats on your decision to stay sexually pure until marriage, it is very honorable.  Don't let people change your decision!
