For most couples, the giving and receiving of an engagement ring is a memorable event. This is usually followed by an exchange of wedding rings, which signifies the commitment that the individuals are making to each other. But I wonder how people view their ring’s significance?
There was a recent article asking people about their ring wearing habits. While some comments ranged from – “not wearing their ring because they don’t want to be controlled” to “they have lost their ring three times and have decided they are best off to keep it in a safe place,” the majority of individuals talked of the importance of their ring. Below are some of their responses.
“My ring is evidence that I am willingly bound to all that it stands for: love, support, family, partnership.”
“When I look at my ring, it reminds me of the wonderful things my husband and I have experienced throughout our relationship, as opposed to the argument we may have had the night before.”
“When I look at the wedding ring on my finger, it lets me know there is someone out there who loves me unconditionally.”
“When I see a man wearing his wedding ring, it tells me he has a soft and private side reserved for someone special.”
If you are married, I wonder what your ring speaks to you regarding your relationship with your partner. I would love to hear your responses.
