To me, our wedding rings are just a symbol to others that we are married. I don’t think mine makes me any happier, but it shows the world that I’m off the market.

You’re right, the ring is just a piece of metal and some diamonds. But symbolically, the wedding ring is so much more. That’s probably why people got upset. I rarely take mine off and feel like something is wrong when I do. I do know that the ring really has nothing to with our love. It’s the symbolism of the love that makes it more than metal and diamonds.

Because with the rings comes sentimental value and that supercedes them being “hunks of metal with diamonds.” The rings symbolize the very essence of your commitment to each other - it is part of the ceremony at the church, and every time you look at them, you know you are paired with someone very special for the rest of your lives. The rings, like everything else regarding marriage, should be treasured and taken care of. It all comes down to respect.

How can a person not “believe” in wedding rings? When you take your vows, the ring is included in the ceremony to symbolize your union not only to each other but to society. Saying it’s a hunk of metal is like saying you’re just a blob of flesh. It has meaning and it has had meaning for centuries. What’s not to “believe” in?

Your guess is as good as mine, hon. It is NOT your love, it is a symbol of your love. My husband appreciates the fact that I take off my wedding set to work in the yard, put on hand lotion, sleep without impaling him with the diamond, etc. Our love would be the same without the ring. I am with you!

because they symbolize the unity between you 2. why people get uptight…. i suppose personal reasons. my huband and i take our rings off when we shower and do dishes as long as we don’t forget to put them back on. sometimes if he forgets, i just pick it up and go to him and ask him, “are you forgetting something?” or “did you lose something?” i don’t ever get mad. people that get mad are just being overly prtective about their spouse and probably feel that if one of them goes out without it they will be approached by single people and then that’s just plain jealousy and they need to gt over it.

I agree with you. but it’s the same thing with a bible. it’s paper with words typed on them by a machine…it’s not the book that is sacred…it’s the words and what they mean to you in your heart. The book just passes on information. The ring stands for commitment. That’s why people freak…but that’s it’s just a symbol…but mostly women want it to show they found a man and are taken.

for some it’s the goal of their life to get that symbol and they have to protect it at every turn

Rings are very expensive nowaways. My son paid $5,000 for the one he bought and it is a beautiful huge rock. If you get in the habit of taking a ring off to wash your hand, do dishes, sleeping or anything else, it can get lost or stolen easily. You always hear about the ring down the drain accident.
Would you want to lose $5,000?
So I suggest that a ring only be taken off when absolutely necessary and it is put in the jewelry box right away. Remember to put it back on as soon as you can. If you leave it in the jewelry box this is the first place burglers look.

So many of elect to never take it off, including me. I have worn mine steady for 30 years and have only taken off to do my hair color. I get it cleaned twice a year. It has nothing to do with superstition but everything to do with not wanting to lose it.

Love is taking care of special items you are given.

Sometimes people put more care into picking them out, some people believe that ring just symbolizes their love when it is blessed in the ceremony. It shouldn’t stand for so much but it does many times. Not everyone has had nice jewelery before or is proud of letting everyone know they are married. My husband and I designed mine years ago and I love it because of that. The stone he picked out and said he wanted me to have it. It means a lot because it was something he did without me having to ask him to do, his thought and love went into it.

It is an outward (public) notice that you are “taken”. Only low class people hit on married people.

I do not wear mine or any jewelry around the house, but always wear my ring in public. It is also a show of loyalty to your spouse.

I do not and have never bought the words of people who come up with excuses not to wear their rings. Those people demonstrate a subconscious feeling that either they are not totally “off the market”.

if he took a piece of aluminum can a found some micah or other little rock and banged out his own ring for you, it would be a symbol of his love and your union none the less….
but the point is not the metal and diamonds as you call it the point is the symbol of your love for each other, which wearing a wedding band is.

it is a big deal, cuz it is your symbol to the world that you are taken. and if your hunk of metal and diamonds means that little to you, then give it to a homeless person who would do anything to eat today.

A ring is not what makes a marriage. Neither my husband nor I wear a ring. We know who we’re married to. A piece of jewelry does not make a marriage.

Because of many reasons.
1- Who is he hiding the fact that he’s married from?
2- Centuries of people used it as a symbol of eternity in a marriage.
3- Why wouldn’t you want your man to show everyone his eternal dedication to your marriage.
4- Out of respect to your marriage.

I know it’s not important for everyone else to see it, but it is a real good feeling to know that your man wants the world to know that he is married to you.

I’m not saying that he will do this to you, but my EX HUSBAND did the same thing saying that he didn’t believe in them either… I found out that he was cheating on me. He was also more concerned that his friends would clown him.

Because if you listen to your vows when you are up there( which I know most people don’t actually pay attention anymore) You say “with this ring I thee wed.” The ring is symbolizing your love and devotion to each other. And even though it really shouldn’t be considered anything more than a chunk of metal, it has become so much more once you’ve repeated these words.

You’re right it is just a ring, but you were also right about the tradition. I think most people that freak out about you taking it off are more superstitious than anything. I have been married for 4 years and I take mine off when I am doing something which will damage it. I also couldn’t wear it while I was pregnant. That didn’t make me feel any less married though. More times than not people who are really into the rings are the most traditional ones. As long as you two are happy, who cares?

Why are you wearing it before you are married? Its not just a piece of metal, its also a symbol of commitment. The circle is never ending, just as your relationship should be.

I hate taking mine off. I’m proud to have it, and it is a totem of the connection that I have to my wife. Any woman I meet can instantly see that I’m spoken for, and I think that makes it easier for them to speak to me, knowing that I’m not going to try to chat them up, and I feel more comfortable with them knowing where I stand.

It reminds me that I’m valued and loved, even when I’m on my own, or feeling down, and it reminds me of just how lucky I am to be married to the best woman on the planet.

Hmm…I think that if both you and your hubby have a mutual respect for your relationship, and this is all in good fun..WHAT IS THE HARM???? I’m pretty sure that you would know him well enough to be able to determine if he will freak and laugh later, or be totally crushed by your actions… If your not able to have fun and joke around in your relationship, then what is there, asides from the obvious? My hubby is a hard worker, never misses work, his average work day consists of 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 days a week.. On those rare occasions when he does come home early, or actually has more than a day off… It startles me and I ask…”You have the day off today?” he responds “No, I got fired!” I start to freak out, and then he laughs and says,”I get you all the time.” For some people that may not be funny..but then we think it is!

Why would he hide it from you when he knows you love it so much?!?!?! The ring he gave me, he said “it’s yours.” I sometimes tell him I wanna break up, and he always goes, “So! I don’t care.” Then we hug and kiss. BUT, about the ring, I asked if we break up should I give it back. He said, “No, its yours. I gave it to you because you wanted it.” All I did was pick out the one I thought was the most beautiful and he surprised me with it a couple of weeks later. Then about 2 weeks ago, we thought we were gonna break up for real, and I went to stay with my parents for a few days, and my dad said you need to give him back that ring, and everything else he gave you if you want a clean break. But then when we were back together he told me to keep it, he wanted me to have it. So, if we do break up, I will sell it and buy a nice car!!! But, seriously, if he uses it against you, he is not being a loving fiance, soon to be husband. The ring is a symbol for you both. Diamonds are a symbol of wealth and perfection. We cannot be perfect, but we can try. For me, its a symbol of love, and also I just like to look at it. PS, my parents have been married 30 plus years and neither wear wedding rings… my best friend wendy has a tattoo of fire around her ring finger, very trendy.

I guess I don’t really see what your question is. Obviously people care about rings cause people like tradition. They don’t like to think, they don’t like new ideas. I am using only my engagement ring — we didn’t get wedding bands (except for him). There’s nothing wrong with it. Tell people to mind their own business.

To most people, a wedding ring is the ultimate symbol of their love and they can’t understand that some peopel don’t share that view. While we will include the ring ceremony in our wedding, I too have been to some that didn’t, and I know people who, instead of an engagement ring, received a new car or a downpayment on a house.

If you haven’t thought of a way to get back at him, some things that work with my borfriend are hiding the remote or his lighter. Makes him irritated, but not too much.

the ring probably doesn’t mean much but tradition is tradition and it basically says that you are married. if you don’t where a ring guys would think that you are available and single and when you tell them that you are married they are going to think that you are lying.

The ring is supposed to symbolize that your married!!!! What are you going to do, walk around with your marriage license around your neck….. both you and your husband should wear a wedding, ring…. I think its a little weird that you don’t mind him not wearing one, your letting him off easy. Now I am not saying to Never take it off, I take mine off for dishes, working out, sleeping, showering, I only wear it for my day, but when I am home its usually in my jewerly box…. but you have to have a ring, that’s the symbol for marriage and until that changes you and your hubby are stuck so get him a ring.

For most people, the ring is an enduring symbol of the marriage - for some, it holds religious significance, because it has been blessed. For others, it is because the ring is a circle, a symbol of forever, and because it is gold - strong, shining and beautiful. I don’t look at it as just another piece of jewellery.

The ring symbolises trust. If you wear it everyday it gives you a natural feeling of long lasting relationship

I don’t understand the people who get married, have NO money and splurge on the ring and then take years to pay it off-or split up before it is paid off.I take mine off too, I clean for a living. I have thought about my husband hiding it from me when I do leave it home!!He hasn’t yet though.My ring is a $165.00 white gold sparkling cut band. I don’t put too much stock in rings.
