scaeagles - I totally respect what you're going for for your kids. I'm going to have a very similar talk with my future children. I'm not going to push waiting until marriage but I am going to push waiting until they're ready.
However, I've got a question - are there any other conversations with your kids that require jewelry to remind them of? Do you get them bracelets for not using drugs or a necklace for not playing with guns? Or maybe another ring will remind them to look both ways before crossing the street?
Yeah, I'm being a bit over the top but the point is salient. The deal with the Chastity Rings usually is an "I'm married to God until I marry someone else because I want to remain Pure" kind of deal. If that's not the point of the ring, then what is? A visual reminder to be good? Or an actual bribe?
Again, I mean no disrespect but I do not get this concept outside of the "sex is dirty" context.
