I do. For me, It means commitment to our marriage, let people know I'm married and that hey have to respect that. What do you do if your spouse doesn't care if he/she doesn't care if he/she forgets to wear his/her wedding ring?

My husband used to never wear his ring. He hates all kinds of jewlry. He won't even wear a watch. He also works a job around a lot of electrical equipment and cannot wear his ring for safety reasons. Yet, it always kind of bothered me that he didn't wear it. This past year we had some issues and he started wearing his ring--except for when he was at work. It really makes me happy when I see him wearing it.

I think my marriage and commitment should be deeper than a chunk of pretty metal and stone on my finger. I got married in a spur of the moment thing and my husband never got a wedding ring for him or myself, mainly cause it was kinda romantic keeping it a secret at first. Afterward we let everyone know and my mother in law bought me a ring as a wedding present. I use it but not constantly since I'm not used to it. I know I'm married and that should be enough, if a woman flirts with my husband he knows he is married and that love and respect should make him tell the girl I'm married and in love back off. Same goes for me. I was married before and thought like you, my ex was a doctor and hardly ever used his ring for work but had it on all the rest of the time...or so I thought, turns out when he saw a pretty girl he would take it off and act like he was separated from me. The ring can be taken off but the commitment should be deeper and harder to remove. If you love him u trust him and the ring shouldn't be the only thing representing your marriage.

If my husbands job interfered with him wearing his ring at work I would not have a problem with it, but if he didn't make any attempts to wear it off the job then it would become an issue, also if he is not wearing his ring and someone approached him he has a mouth to tell them he is married a ring should not be the only way for a person to let others know they are married

My fiance and I have actually been discussing this issue lately too. I don't care if it's made of yarn, for crying out loud! It isn't about the 'bling', how big the stone is, or how much it cost - a wedding ring is THE symbol of your commitment to each other. In my opinion, if he can't be "bothered" to remember to wear his ring EACH AND EVERY MOMENT then he should do what my boss did: get a tattoo around his wedding finger.

I am a machinist and I used to hate wearing my wedding ring under my latex gloves at work because of that powder in the gloves and every once in a while I would forget to put it back on and my wife would get pissed. It was an honest mistake but she really took it hard and I figured its better to put up with an annoying ring at work than hurt her feelings and make her question my fidelity and commitment.

To me, marriage is just a ring and a signed certificate. If your partner knows that the commitment you have is true and bold, then he/she will refuse the advance of another person. The wedding ring/band is a status symbol to let the world know that this person is now permanently unavailable. Which also gives the world of girls/guys the "opportunity" to start making moves on a turf that is sooooo off bounds. Hope this answers your question.

Absolutely mind if my spouse won't wear our wedding band. If after confronting him about not wearing the ring is useless, I just leave it to THE MAN UPSTAIRS to work on him.
Wearing our wedding ring means to me that he truly loves me and acknowledges me as his true and devoted wife. He made a vow w/ me and he should fulfill it no matter what.
I have high regards for husbands wherein reasonable circumstances make it hard for them to wear rings yet still they exert effort to wear the ring once in a while. That's awesome. And that's my hubby, too.

I would assume he/she is upset about something and is using the ring to get back at me, make a point, or get my attention. I'd find out why he/she is so angry and work on the REAL problem. I wouldn't think the ring is the real issue. I'd ask- am I being such a bad husband/wife that my spouse has given up on us and the lack of ring symbolizes that feeling?

no, the ring does not make the marriage. The way you treat each other makes it. One can wear a wedding ring and be a total jerk. You can make a commitment in marriage with or without a ring.

I used to wear my ring all the time. Till the day came and I almost lost my finger because of the ring getting caught.Now while it is so hot I cannot even wear it because my fingers swell in the heat. But I wear when possible.
