It, as a circle, reminds me to stay within the circle of love between God, my dh and me. It also reminds me that our circle should include loving others and sharing our love with them as a part of our community, both secular and parish.
 
It means a reminder of the vow two people made to each other and God. I know someone who even continues wearing theirs even though their spouse left and remarried many years ago and they have remained chaste and single. Their ring reminds them daily of that very special covenant.
 
Hubby recently lost his ring.

He says it does not change how married he is. Last he knew, losing a ring doesn’t make signed divorce papers appear out of thin air. 😃

I’m still ripping the house apart trying to find this stupid ring. :rolleyes:

Say a prayer to St. Anthony to find lost ring.

Tony, Tony, look around … Something’s lost that can’t be found.

I lost my wedding ring a few weeks ago, and my husband prayed to St Anthony. I thought I lost it at the playground … But right after my husband prayed he went upstairs to a toy box we just created and found it! Praise be God and Thank-you St Anthony.

oh, he’s been the cornerstone for prayers. Still no luck.

I think the borrowers have invaded my house…add to that a lost watch and a lost t-shirt of mine.
 
“What does a wedding ring symbolize to you?”

Commitment, to one spouse forever, made publicly and recorded on a marriage license because it’s that important.
 
The fact that 41 years and some-odd months ago I made certain promises before God about a certain lady, and that certain lady made similar promoses before God about me.
 
But in all seriousness, The Wedding Band is beautiful. I proceeded from it.

It is infinity, the love with which man and woman, when joined by Our LORD in the presence of HIS Sacred Minsiter and Ambassador, must love each other with.

Total sacrifice, love and dedication…

LOVE YOU MOMA AND PAPA!!

Thank You for giving Your life over for me!!

I am so undeserving…

What a wonderful and most beautiful Sacrament, the Sacrament of Matrimony. How vile and disgusting is the abuse, mockery and sacrelige of this most beautiful Sacrament which is permaritial sex and homosexuality!!..
 
The greatest gift I have ever received. My beautiful wife…

Peace

Growing up, my parents never wore theirs so I use to think it was for the rich only. Personally, I don’t think it means a lot in the sense that I never cared to have a ‘nice rock’. And honestly, if ever I did get married, the more expensive the diamond, the more paranoid I would be about loosing it and the bigger the chances it would just sit in a jelewery box.

However, I do think it is considerate to wear a simple ban out of respect for your spouse to let the world know you are off limits

Honestly, not much. That being said, I never take mine off. However, hubby never wears his. He simply cannot wear a ring comfortably. He has larger knuckles, so needs to have a bigger size than needed for where the ring sits in order to get it over his knuckles. We weren’t too aware of this when picking rings out, because he had never really worn one before. Now he has 2 that sit in boxes. LOL I know - 2? Well, the bands we picked were actually anniv. bands by definition because it’s what went best w/ my engagement ring. He worked w/ cars at the time, and was worried about damaging the ring, so we bought him a very inexpensive plain gold band to wear at work (at the time, as an engaged, excited to pick out rings & know we’d be wearing them forever, no way was he going without one, IMO).

Now, married almost 12 years, the ring is just that - a ring. Our vows, and our daily actions mean far more to me that pieces of jewelry. Every once in a while, it bugs me that he can’t wear his, and it bothers him occasionally as well. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s really not a big deal.
