My partner and I often incorporate a *pinky promise* into our relationship. He knows just how let down by others I have been in the past so we physically make a vow to retain said oath. I wasn’t allowed to *swear* growing up so it still feels odd to me, even though Im no longer observant. Its funny how the Gd of the old testament made certain promises to the *chosen nation* yet….yea…I think we all get it…
