Jordin Sparks Defends Jonas Brother's Promise Rings

It's refreshing to see young celebrities/pop stars not follow the "sex, drugs, and rock n roll, lifestyle." However I do not believe that we need to wear a "promise ring" in order to save ourselves for marriage. First of all, I feel that promise rings are self righteous. It's like "look at me, I'm a virgin". When for all we know, it could just be for show. Just like when I was a teenager, and W.W.J.D. wristbands were in fashion. Now were all of the youths wearing them godly people? Many maybe, but certainly not all of them were. A lot of teens are given these accessaries by there parents. So it's moreso there parents imposisition, than there own expression. And secondly, promise rings, like other jewelary, can cost quite a bit of money. Not all girls, and/or boys, can afford them. Frankly, we'll be doing good just to be able to afford an engagement/wedding ring. I also happen to believe that one's spirituality, and sexuality, is personal, and needn't be shown off to the entire world. What's in the heart is the most important thing. And we can not know what's in there heart, and therefore whether or not they're sincere. Hopefuly they will someday find someone to share both heart and body with though.
