To me, wedding rings are important. Just wondering what everyone else thinks?

I find it's mostly the people looking to cheat that don't wear them. That's the first thing people look at to determine if a potential date is married.

I'm happily married and rarely wear my wedding ring. I don't encourage or indulge advances from the opposite sex. (If anything, I get hit on more when I am wearing my wedding band, which seems creepy to me.) At any rate, I've just never been one to wear jewelry - I don't even have an engagement ring, just the wedding band itself, and it is the only jewelry item that I wear with any level of regularity.
The welfare of my husband and children are a part of my every word, deed, and thought throughout the day. Not having a ring on my finger has no bearing on the level of commitment I have to my family.
My husband wears his ring every day, but that's primarily because he's a creature of habit - it sits next to his wallet and car keys, so he puts it on when he grabs those items to leave the house.

It really depends on how you feel about it - the rings aren't what makes your marriage work or not work, but they are an outward symbol of you love and commitment. I know a lot of men who don't wear their rings, mostly due to the type of work they do.
My fiance actually notices it more than I do though - he has a couple of friends who always wear theirs when they go out, and a couple that don't. He sees it as a sign that the marriage isn't as strong when the guys don't wear their rings. This may or may not be the case, but you should be aware that it can send a message to other people. (If you care about that - what's really important is that you know how strong it is, though.)
It's important to us to wear our rings (he was married once before and so it's not like he can't relate to his married friends), but I know that's it not important to everyone.

Some people don't and it is for different reasons. I do sometimes,but most of the time I am cooking or cleaning so the rings come off. My husband rarely wears his due to his line of work, it is a hazard. Rings are material things and they are not what makes a marriage. If we never wore ours again it wouldn't make one bit of difference in our marriage, we are in love and secure with one another.

It's better to wear them to avoid any misunderstandings from other people/opposite sex.
I'm sure singles who want to be married yearn for the day they can wear the wedding ring, so married people should be proud and happy to be "qualified" to wear the ring.

If my husband and I don't have our ring on, the other one lets that person know. We feel it's important to wear our rings.

well my dad never wore his wedding band. my mom wares a bridal set very rarely, but they have marital problems.
i however believe married couples should ware at least the wedding band at all time. i know me and my soon to be hubby are talking about getting tattoos of our wedding bands on our fingers just because where he works it would most likely damage his ring at some point. we believe its a beautiful symbol of commitment and love toward each other in being one with each other.

i don't wear mine a ton cause i work with my hands a lot and also because my husband doesn't wear his. if he wore his more, i'd wear mine more. if we're doing something social i try to remember to wear it. my best friend is the same as me, she doesn't wear hers very often. it DOES make it hard when your'e trying to convince someone you can't go out with them because you're married--they say "then why aren't you wearing a ring?" and dont' believe you because people think it's magnetically affixed upon saying "I DO" :) but it's not :)
