i just wanna know your opinion. how important is it to you to have a ring? would you measure a relationship to that?

If you're measuring your relationship by the type or size of ring, you have no business getting married.

I don't measure our relationship by the size or type of ring that I have, but I definitely like having a ring; I don't know that I'd like to be without one.

A couple weeks ago, I was without my rings (both e-ring and wedding) for about a week while they were getting resized. I really didn't like not having anything to wear on my finger; I felt almost naked without them. Of course, that was because I'd been wearing them for 3 years and wasn't used to not wearing one.

I personally think it's important to have a wedding band. Engagement rings, well, I suppose that's the couples' preference, and you can use the e-ring as the wedding ring, of course. My mom, for example, has one ring; they used the same one in the wedding ceremony that dad proposed with.

It's a symbol, yeah, but it's an important one, I think. But as to size and monetary value, that shouldn't be the focus. I don't see having a ring in terms of "measuring a relationship"...it's a physical symbol that says something to observers, but it isn't a "measure" of anything. That phrasing says to me that so-and-so loves his wife more because he bought a bigger ring, and that's pure crap.

I completely agree with both of these points.

thanx for your views guys.

im not wearing any wedding band just because my hubbie is not used of wearing any jewelries since birth though im married for 3 years now.

It's important for me to wear my ring, but I know plenty of people who don't wear wedding/engagement bands, and I think it's there choice. I certainly don't measure the worth of a relation ship on a peice of jewelry.

It's important to both of us to have wedding rings. I was surprised that Richard really wanted one, but I'm happy about it.
I love my engagement ring, and I'll love my wedding ring too. However, he could have given me a twist-tie and I would be happy.

I like wearing my wedding ring, but I don't think it's important for people to wear them per se. My husband doesn't wear his, and it doesn't make us any less married than if he wore one.

I would say ring is not so important as well as we cannot ignore that. Basically it depends on the people how they feel about the love. Certain people feel that it is a token of their relationship and is purely one's personal to wear a ring or not

Does this make sense to anyone?
Also, what is a troll bread?

nope didn't make sense to me, but I have taken to ignoring the posts that I don't understand or that I think are out there just to spread their links (like a certain poster IMO)
no idea what troll bread is though either.

I had a post last week about the importance of an engagement ring so I found these comments interesting. My feeling is a ring is a sign of commitment and is very necessary.

Ciarrai, I love this part about the twist-tie!
