I have been seperated from my husband for about 2 months now and we are filing divorce papers this week, should I take my ring off now or keep it on till the divorce is final?

You should take off the ring when you are ready to start over. You need to accept the fact that your marriage is over and a good start to that acceptance would be removing the ring.

The ring is a symbol of the covenant or promise you made before God that you would stay with your husband till death in good times and bad. There are two other stipulations in the bible 1. he cheats on you 2. he abandons you and is an unbeliever If either of these two things happened, then you should take the ring off now, since in God's eyes it is okay to leave his man if you need to. Otherwise. (f one of these things hasn't happened). . . the ring doesn't mean anything anyway, so you might as well take it off because it's a symbol of something that never/doesn't exist.. If the covanent does mean something to you (and your husband is insisting on this divorce or there is abuse), then wear it until your husband signs the papers. There's nothing you can do at that point, since the bible also says that you can't change others, only yourself, so then take it off after the paper is signed and move on with God's plan for you.

Legally the marriage is not over till the divorce is final, so the ring can stay on, but the ring is a symbol for unity and you are no longer united in a marrage.So i guess the best advice i can give is take it off when you are ready, and not until then.Good luck

It sounds like things are over, I hope it is not a nasty divorce. As for the ring, my suggestion is to use it to your advantage. If you don't want to be bothered when you go out, leave it on. If you want guys to approach you, take it off. You see there is no set time when you should remove your ring. Good Luck!

Ugh, i will completely sympathize. i'm no longer engaged/married so i do no longer positioned on any earrings on my left hand, yet I broke it whilst i exchange into 12 and that i'm already suffering arthritis at 21. to no longer point out that I even have nerve harm in my ring finger by using wreck so i will purely think of what that is going to likely be like when I do get engaged! I see no difficulty with donning your ring on your actual hand in this occasion. If every person asks, tell them why. you will nonetheless be engaged the two way! sturdy success and congrats!

From personal expirience, I took it off when we were separated. It helped me come to terms with it a lot faster. I was the one who wanted the divorce, but didn't mean it still wasn't hard. I did take baby steps though, I kept my wedding band on my right finger, then eventually I stopped wearing both of them. But you need to do it when you are ready. You will know when that is. Or try to not wear it one day, and put it on the next. Just so you can start getting used to not seeing it.

Whenever you think the marriage is "over" for you... that could be the day you separated, the day the divorce proceedings started, or maybe just some afternoon when you feel "That's it." and you take it off...
After my first marriage I carried my wedding ring on my key chain for about a year... then one afternoon I tossed it off the ferryboat, deep into New York Bay

It really depends on how you feel. If you are totally ready to let go then take it off.
