I don't look down on people just for having different values from mine. I went to college with many kids who came from very religious families, and whose parents and clergy expected them to remain virgins until marriage. Most of them were engaged by the time they finished college, to people with whom they shared more than a superficial attraction, and most of these marriages, as far as I know, turned out happy enough, although I also believe that only a minority actually waited until their wedding night for consummation.

what bothers me about OP's question is that he or she admits not being an active member of a faith tradition to whom the belief that sex should be saved for marriage is just one of the extensions of their values. Nor does OP feel a strong spiritual need to immerse him or herself in such a faith tradition. No, OP is seeking a religious setting for his/her daughter in order to keep her pure. What is worse, the young maiden in question, just waiting to be lead astray, is 6. I could maybe understand a conservative parent panicking when their child reaches the teenage years, but this kind of focus on a 6-year-old's future sexuality feels incredibly creepy to me. [/quote]

Luckily OP can make those choices for her child and you are free to make different ones for yours.[/quote]
