God,

I promise to wait until marriage. I promise not to give myself away to a man You do not have destined for me, just so I can be intimate with another person. Lord, I promise to seek out Your will when it comes to the man You have created for me to spend the rest of my time with. I will prayerfully seek out the man You have for me. I will be perfectly okay with being the only one of my friends not dating somebody, because I know all things work in Your time. I will not will not rush into marriage for my own desires.

Lord, I promise to work on my relationship with You while I wait for my future husband and even after I find him. I promise to continue to pray for my future husband until I know who he is and even once I know.

I promise to be faithful to my future husband by keeping myself pure. I will do this not only with my body but also my mind and heart.

God I promise that my husband and I will grow in you together and that You will be the center of our marriage. I promise we will be faithful to You together for the rest of our days and that our love will reflect You. We will follow Your plans for us together knowing You are with us every step of the way and that we will always have each other.

I promise not to be flirty and pernicious and to establish guidelines for myself in the way I behave. I promise to be true to myself and not to conform to the world.

I promise that when I am married I will be vulnerable with my husband and let him see the most hidden parts of my heart. I promise never to hide how I am feeling from him, even if my feelings are uncomfortable to face. I promise to always be faithful and true to him and him only. I promise to pray for him daily and spend time with You together. I promise to never talk to another man in such a way that makes my husband feel uncomfortable. I promise to take our marriage vows seriously, knowing they are between us and God. I promise to not have things be about me but how I can serve him better in our marriage. I promise to always fight fair and to never intentionally hurt him. I promise to never use his past hurts or current vulnerabilities and anxieties to my advantage in an argument.

I promise that if the day comes I become a mother to parent our children together in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I promise to not have children break apart our marriage.

I promise to never go to my family or my friends with my marriage issues. I will instead consult my husband, God and maybe a marriage counselor.

I promise to never go to bed angry, but instead communicate my feelings with my husband.

I promise to never lie to him about how I feel and what is happening to me.

I promise to connect with him not just on a physical level, but an emotional and spiritual level.

I promise that if there comes such a time that my husband and I are no longer together because death did us part that I still will not break our marriage vows. I will survive in knowing I met my soulmate, the one God had intended for me and know I will be okay on my own.

God, I promise that here and now as a teenager to see all these things as true.

I promise to live these words out all the days of my life.

That even though I am young, I take this seriously.

Because this is a promise between God and I.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
