I do not wear my wedding ring becasue it bothers my hand and is in the way of golfing and working. I only put it on when I am travelling and at parties. Now I don't wear it all, my wife does not say anything, does she not notice or she maybe feels thats just a material of love bondage. What should I do, keep it on or just leave it. I do love my wife and I am faithful.

My husband never wears his, in fact, he may have lost it at this point. I have no concern that he is unfaithful, and while I would never admit it, his not wearing it just makes me a little sad. Face it, if your little band is uncomfortable, imagine our rings?! I wear my ring with pride- I want the WORLD to know that he loves me! That he chose me! It tells the world that I am proud of my man, and my choice. I don't gripe about him not wearing his ring, but it isn't unnoticed. I suspect it is the same with your wife! Good luck! :)

Well, your wife loves you. She knows you aren't wearing your ring, but she trusts you. You are lucky. A wedding ring is a symbol for love eternally. I think you should wear that ring whenever you possibly can to make your wife know how much you care. Let me ask you a question: how would you feel if your wife didn't ever wear HER wedding band? If it wouldn't bother you, then the two of you are perfect together. If it would bother you, then it probably bothers her, too.

Neither my husband nor I has worn a wedding ring in the 28 years we've been married, and neither one of us worries or cares what this "says" to other people about our marriage.
What you need to do is talk to your wife about not wearing your wedding ring. You should be able to talk about anything, from the trivial to the gargantuan in importance, with your spouse. How she feels about your wearing or not wearing your ring is more important than what a bunch of strangers feels.
If she feels it's important for you to wear the ring, maybe you can come to some kind of compromise, like wearing it around your neck on a chain. But talk to her: she's your wife, and she and you are the only ones who count in this.

Ask your wife how she feels about it, just the way you did in your question. I personally think that a married man should wear a ring, but it's up to your wife and what she's comfortable with.

A wedding ring really has nothing to do with your relationship. If your wife is fine with you not wearing it, then don't. I know a lot of men who don't wear it because of their jobs. My boyfriend won't wear his when we get married unless we're going out somewhere because he works on cars all day long and it would be too dangerous. I really don't care. It's just a piece of metal.

I'm married 13 years - I take the ring off when I play sports etc- but someone said before - the ring doesn't keep you faithful, and it doesn't stop advances. If you love each other and this isn't causing a rift - why do you care?

Its a material item, God is not worried about traditions of man. It's okay if you dont always wear your wedding ring. You just need to communicate this with your wife so that she wont think that you are taking it off for other reasons. Youre not ashamed of your wife you love her. You should not have to depend on a ring to prove your love.
This shows that your love is real. Spirtual love. Not materialistic. Many couples depend soley on materials to identify themselves with love, that means that they are surface lovers not spiritual lovers.
your okay, I promise. My husband and I dont even wear rings. We got married when we were basically financially challenged. I love him for who he is and not what he gives to me. It will come one of these days, but at least I know that our love was true without a ring.

I agree the ring does not have nothing to do with faithfulness and being loyal and hones but it does in my opinion make the women feel better like they are really loved and it shows your appreciation of your love for her it makes women happy when they see that ring on there mans finger it brings them back to that very special day you got married thats my opinion

The wedding band if you could recall was out on your finger by your bride and is a symbol of everlasting love "the circle", what if it was your wife that didn't wear her ring?, how would that make you feel?.

I am the same way and I've been married for twelve years. Trust and love is not a ring, it is only represented by the ring. Wear it when you can.
