...and the next topic will be...why will someone date me for two years without engaging you.
The next one that will follow is "i will be happy if he engages me for five years provided he marry's me" tongue.
If you complain about wearing an engagement ring for two years, how about people who date for more than 5 years without marriage? or before becoming married to each other eventually.
If you look at it the reverse, it means that if a guy dates you or vice versa, it means you must get married within two years na undecided.
My opinion is that provided he is serious and you trust each other, then you are good to go.
Sometimes i keep wondering...how about if he engages you and to get married that same year but he lost his job, it means you will run away because he has no job and you cant wear the ring for too long quo?

I came across a guy advising a lady to remove and throw away an engagement ring she's been wearing for 2 years without walking down the isle.

Now, I've got few questions:

Whats the normal time range a lady is expected to wear an engagement ring, as in, a guy proposes and d lady accept and he presented a ring to signify seriousness.

Secondly how long is too long to wear an engagement ring?


One hour

jennann: Is there any real purpose of an engagement ring when we all know it can still be taken off and be replaced by another from someone else?
so you can say yes to two different marriage proposals??

IMHO an engagement should not last more than one year
If after 6 months no concrete plans are being made towards a wedding,the woman should open her eyes and open herself up for other possibilities

The only ring I will offer my wife-to-be is a wedding.
Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by Nobody: 9:10pm On Jan 15, 2013
As for me, I really don't fancy ring thing and engagement ring thing.The reason is simple: engagement is no wedding plus a ring is actually not a sign of faithfulness or love.A ring is just a fashion statement. I can decide to leave at anytime I want to as engagement is no marriage, no matter how expensive the ring is.
But then 6months is the maximum to wear an engagement ring. Once its 6months and then no sign, talk or action of wedding which should be willingly from his mind, I will move on by 12am the next day.
No chance for nonsense!

As long as they're engaged, there's no time limit on these things. As long as you both know you're willing to do it whenever.

An engagement ring pushes away prospective suitors so in my own opinion, 18months tops unless factors like wedding finances is @ play.
Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by FXKing2012(m): 9:43pm On Jan 15, 2013
And why is it that only ladies wear engagement rings? Why cant men also wear engagement rings so that other ladies will know he's been taken?
Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by eldoradoxx: 9:47pm On Jan 15, 2013
chacha3: I won't advise anybody to wear an engagemt ring for over a year,what is the essence of wearing it for long as if its a wedding ring. If there are no immediate plans on ground for the wedding then I don't see the need of wearing it even.
Someone sarcastially " If engagement ring don dey your finger for over 2yr, that one don turn to keyholder ooo" hahahahahahahaha

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Until the marriage takes place. On the wedding day, they get wedding rings. That's what I would do anyway.

No amount of time is too long. Life happens. Finances, personal issues, etc., are all capable of offsetting a wedding. People should wed when they are ready and not due to pressures from family and friends.[/size]

All the same, the bible makes it clear that expectation delayed makes the heart sick. Therefore a man should not engage a girl he well knows that he is not going to marry soon.

Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by huninaija(f): 11:57pm On Jan 15, 2013
Some men just hand out engagement rings to keep the woman tied down, thinking he's taking her down the aisle when he has other plans in mind, including other chicks...

If a man proposes to me and there are no wedding plans within 3 months of being engaged he can like to eat the the engagement ring... No time undecided
