The True Love Waits pledge states: "Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future mate and my future children to be sexually abstinent from this day until the day I enter a biblical marriage relationship."
By the late 1990s, Christian music groups were promoting the program, and events similar to youth rallies were held at Christian music concerts,[REF] providing an opportunity for adolescents to sign pledge cards.
