Covenant is the deepest form of commitment from one entity to another.&lt;br /&gt;In the Old Testament two people making a covenant would mingle their blood, showing the deepest level of faith and commitment to the relationship.&lt;br /&gt;This is why we urge you to make a covenant with you child for emotional and physical purity. Yes, even if that child had already made a mistake. God forgives them and if they have repented in Him they are pure in His eyes and if they are pure in his eyes, who are we as parents to think otherwise. When you buy the Heart to Heart program we give some suggestions on how that covenant can be made. Although there are many good “Abstinence” programs through churches, NOTHING can take the place of the covenantal promise between the parent and child, NOTHING.&lt;br /&gt;This is where the Heart to Heart program focuses, by making the parent-child covenant with God as the honored entity and then using the jewelry as a symbol and constant reminder of that covenant. That is why we went to such great lengths to make a unique design out of precious metal.&lt;br /&gt;That is also why it is not the cheapest abstinence jewelry available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The creator, Joe Costello describes his process:&lt;br /&gt;“When I created this concept and the jewelry designs, I did so after a tremendous amount of prayer. I know these designs are answers to those prayers because they came to me with such lucid detail.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the “Key to her heart.” This beautiful heart has a smaller heart in the front. Behind that heart is a keyhole. When making the covenant with your daughter, you explain that the covenant is between her, you, and God. Since God had placed her in your care as a parent, you and only you can hold the “key to her heart.” You then explain to the child that you will hold the key to her precious heart until the day of her wedding. On that day, you will give her away like at all weddings, BUT in doing so you will also “give away” the key to her heart to her now husband. The key and lock are actually functional and your son-in-law will place the key into the heart to open it. Inside, will be a small note that had been placed in the heart on the day you made the covenant. That note can say something like, “I do not know your name or even what you look like, but this is my promise to save myself physically and emotionally for you this day. Love, Melanie”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boys’ “key to his heart” is a beautiful masculine cross. The Vines are hand engraved in great detail to depict that “He is the vine” and you choose to bear “Godly fruit.” In the center of the cross you see a heart. This heart also has a keyhole in the center.&lt;br /&gt;The young man is told the key to his heart will be held by his parents… (Prov. 23:26: My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.)… until his wedding day. His new bride will then open the “key to his heart” and know that the promise he kept will be the spiritual and trustful foundation for a marriage blessed by God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope and pray that you too share our enthusiasm and belief that the covenant your children make with you and the Lord will be the foundation for a marriage that is happy, lifelong, and blessed by God. The locket and cross are beautiful symbols of this important covenant and will be a “statement” to all, of your child’s promise of physical and emotional purity and the love you share.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5764728607853805662-6525204380544284883?l=purity-covenant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purity-covenant.blogspot.com/feeds/6525204380544284883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5764728607853805662&amp;postID=6525204380544284883' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5764728607853805662/posts/default/6525204380544284883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5764728607853805662/posts/default/6525204380544284883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purity-covenant.blogspot.com/2008/05/heart-to-heart-lockets-and-crosses.html' title='Heart to Heart Lockets and Crosses'/><author><name>Lizzy</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9USMOMdhCs0/TutS-XB5LBI/AAAAAAAADfI/6mq1wjENX-g/s220/ID_pic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764728607853805662.post-5356823413250727282</id><published>2008-09-17T15:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-22T18:29:10.885-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Prices and Ordering</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9sHo9m5oNZU/SNF-rqf4L2I/AAAAAAAAA1w/mH-tvfrHNas/s1600-h/silver%2520locket_website.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="151" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247114329470807906" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9sHo9m5oNZU/SNF-rqf4L2I/AAAAAAAAA1w/mH-tvfrHNas/s320/silver%2520locket_website.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" width="120" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Girl's or Boy's locket/cross alone:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Sterling Silver, &lt;strong&gt;$120.00&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In White/Yellow Gold, &lt;strong&gt;$220.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;(These prices do not include the additional S&amp;amp;H charge of $15.00)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Both come with a silver chain (Locket-16in.
