I won't ever wear a ring(on any finger for any reason) ever again. I have a nice scar on my ring finger that serves as a reminder of my vows. Lol, it's permanent and doesn't get caught on anything. My wife doesn't wear one either, we have WAY to many hazards in our day to day lives that jewelry ,of any kind ,just compounds. But I wuv her and she wuvs me, and thats enough
I always wear my ring, unless I'm doing something where I might lose it. I took it off to go crabbing last weekend, and I took it off for a massage where I was told no jewelry at all. Before that..I can't remember the last time it's been off.
My husband purposefully got his a half size too small so it doesn't budge off his hand. He loves this whole marriage thing, and lets everyone know.
What I find pretty funny (actually kinda pathetic as well) is people who choose not to wear their wedding ring saying things like "I dont need it to show my love....etc.' but yet they go out and get permanent (non removable) tattoos because they want to show they world that they love Harleys or Rock music.
Im not a fan of tattoos (dont have one and never will) but I think its hilarious/pathetic that people would rather get a tat as a symbol of something they love, instead of just wearing their wedding ring as a symbol of who they love.
Truthfully, a ring means nothing, nor does a license. If you're committed you are committed, if not, you are not. What's the divorce rate? Half? I wonder how many of those husbands and wives insisted their spouses wear the ring.
A lot of people gain weight over the years. I think this accounts for alot of ringless fingers. Human nature being what it is, I think it's easier to be in denial about the weight gain and just quit wearing the ring. Keep in mind though, if you are in a vulnerable position or are having a lot of problems and are feeling needy, that weddingring could be your savior.
Hubby wears a lovely silver and wooden one( very sexy on his finger) , I didn't even get one for myself. I don't need a ring to be or feel married. I prefer to wear my other favourite rings.
I used an old ( pretty) Celtic silver ring I already had for the ceremony but haven't worn it since. It's only a symbol and I can't say I'm bothered.
Hubby has also wanted me to have an engagement ring designed for over 2 years and quite frankly I can't be bothered. I would rather spend the money on travelling. Also I have found it hard to find ethical and eco friendly jewellery I really like ....
I love my husband and have loved him for over 21 years.We have been through fire together so a ring really isn't going to change much for me. I think he rather likes wearing his ( after whining about it for a while ) . If he doesn't want to wear it that's fine too.
I love wearing my ring. It's a little big, so every time I spin it around and adjust it during the day it makes me smile
I do take it off to sleep though (my hands sweat a lot and will discolor it quickly at night). DH wears his all the time, never takes it off. It makes me happy every time I see his hand
How do you relate to what the ring symbolizes ? Do you wear yours? If not, why so?
I'd be curious to see whether there are men out there who trust it has a power or do you just wear because the wife wants you to ... or without giving much consideration to the gesture. Same question for women.
Your input is much appreciated.
Only wear mine when we go out for an evening or other activity where there is not a risk of it getting damaged. Its purely symbolic for me.
