Mom-Daughter True Love Waits Guide Giveaway

Filed under Contests, What's New
Last week I launched a new guide here at Beauty by Design, the Mom-Daughter True Love Waits Guide, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Though, this topic is NOT at all limited to this month, this week or this holiday. Teaching our daughters that sex should wait until marriage is an important topic that should be dealt with often, especially if they are in their teenage years where temptation is ever present.
I feel so strongly about this topic that I am going to be giving away 6 of these guides over the next few weeks, starting here this week on our blog.

My daughter is 6 and we have not spoken to her about anything explicitly sexual yet. We have spoken about her body being a gift from God and how she needs to respect it, take care of it, and insist that everyone else respects it as well. I would enjoy reading a copy of this book as I know that those more detailed conversations are coming soon. I would like to be able to speak to her in a way that reflects God’s design for sexual intimacy; as a beuatiful gift to be shared with her husband that will bring them both closer to Christ.
I also signed up for your feed. I don’t use twitter so I cannot qualify the other ways.
My daughter is 3 and I don’t believe she’s quite old enogh to talk to about this yet. I do however believe it’s very important, and want to be better prepared to talk to her about this. Any advise I can get about how I grab as quickly as I can.
I have 3 girls ages 5, 7, and 9. We have just started talking with the 9yo about puberty and sharing more details about the sexual relationship between parents.
For my daughter’s 13th birthday in December, we presented her with a purity ring (one she had chosen) and a father-daughter Bible study. We have talked about abstinence and she agrees that it is an obvious choice. Thank you for this book and the chance to win it!
I have 2 daughters, 1 who’s 13 and 1 who’s 8. I’ve talked with each of them about sex and about abstinence. It may seem that the 8yo is a little young, but she asked enough questions about where babies come from that I told her. As you can imagine, the 13yo and I have talked quite a bit more. Thanks!
My daughter is not quite one yet, so we won’t be having a talk about this soon, but I love the idea & would love the guide to get ready for when the time comes.

I just tweeted about this.
Let’s get the word out!
I have six daughters-30, 26, 24, 18, 16, and 14. We have always talked about abstinence and courtship. My 30 year old is married (at 26) and both were virgins and they now have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. My other daughters are awaiting their godly young men for marriage by courtship and are still living at home.
I have talked to my 14 year old daughter over the past several years.
It comes up often as we have a neice that is unwed with two children. I didn’t want my daughter to confuse my love and acceptance of my neice as an endorsement of her choice not to get married. I frequenlty mention the blessings that my neice is missing out on by not staying pure until marriage.
My daughter recieved a birthstone ring from her grandparents this past Christmas and she promptly put it on her finger stating ” This will be my purity ring”. Then she proceeded to inform grandma and grandma that she is commited to staying pure until marriage. They were speechless.
Okay, I will try this again, I messed up my e-mail address apparently, got an error message and what I wrote had disappeared!!
My daughter is only 5, last year for Valentines day, when she was 4 we got her the book “The Princess and the Kiss” and began talking to her about saving her first kiss for her husband. It may seem young to some but in this day and age, and the things around us in the world I think it is important so young. We also got my son “The Squire and the Scroll” and she has read that too and we discuss them together “Wouldn’t it be nice is your husband saved his first kiss for you and was a honorable man before God like the squire?”. It is neat to see her recognize the impurity in the world “Mommy why didn’t she save her kiss?” and to see her recognize the honorable Godly qualities she sees in boys (like in the blessings God placed next door!) We also have talked about modesty in her clothes since she was very young and wanted to dress herself (like 18 mos. old), that is certainly part of abstinence even for even very young girls.
I guess this will be my only entry, I can’t keep up with my e-mail inbox as it is and to subscribe to the blog and have more there isn’t going to work and I don’t have the desire or the time to Twitter, I honestly can’t figure out how people can find the time to do that stuff!
Blessings,

Thanks for the offer on this! I already subscribe to your blog, and don’t twitter. My daughters are 10 and 12 – so I’m heading into the thick of it right now! We have touched on abstinence.
I have 3 daughters 16,14,and 10. I talk quite openly to all of them about God’s design for marriage and not behaving like you are married when you are not. I have had much more in depth discussions with the older 2 about saving their virginity for marriage.

I have 3 daughters..14, 8, and 4. We have talked to our 14 yo about abstinence and what happens when you don’t take that stand. We are now teaching her that she don’t need to be looking for Mr. Right that God has him picked out already, she justs needs to wait on God. God Bless.
Hi, I have one daughter Grace she is 4, and I know I need to start talking really soon about love and waiting…….
I’m following you.
My daughters are ages 19 & 12 and this is a major conversation for our family. I use to host the youth talks at my church but they seem to have gotten away (the youth) from attending church. I know for some teens it is hard to discuss abstinence in there families for a variety of reasons tha was why I made and still make myself available for them. God Bless all that you do – To God Be The Glory!!!
I have two daughters, an 11 yo and an almost 8 yo. I have not really shared too much explicit with either of them. I know it’s time, at least for the 11 yo for sure, but I just don’t know how to go about sharing without taking away their innocence. I did not have this talk with my mom, so have no idea the right way to approach this subject.
