They met in a public place as far as he was concerned, she was yet another conquest. (But of course the young lady didn’t know it). After the initial introductions and exchange of pleasantries, the man who was in his early thirties, made his intentions known: he would love to have a sexual relationship with the lady, who was still in school. “But you are married, she pointed out to him. “Why did you say that,” he asked. “You have a wedding ring on your finger, which means you are married, so what happens to your wife?” “Oh that,” he replied, staring at his wedding ring with strange amusement and before his companion could say anything else, he removed the ring from his finger and flipped it into his shirt’s breast pocket. And then with a triumphant look on his face, he turned to the lady who couldn’t hide her surprise and asked, “now are you satisfied?”
So much for wedding rings, you must be saying. Yes so much for wedding ring indeed. To many people wedding rings has come to occupy a very important position in their marriages. And they cling to it as tenaciously as possible. Years ago, a woman was coming back from work and her bus drove past a former roommate in the university. Eagerly, she called out to her in greeting and in response, the lady in question simply lifted up her hand, waving and screaming at the same time (“I am married now ooo”).
A wedding band consists of a precious metal ring, which in many culture is worn on the base of the left ring finger- the fourth finger (counting from the thumb) of the left hand. Though in some other parts of the world, it is worn on the right ring finger like Norway, Bulgaria, Germany and Poland.
But as important as many people there are churches that don’t even wed their members with wedding bands. Such include the Deeper Life Bible Church, the Mountain Of Fire and Miracles Ministries and Redeemed Christian Church of God. The Bible, the word of God is rather use. This is because the ring is an ordinary metal that can get lost why the Bible is the word of God that cannot and can’t be destroyed.
A man who wants to have an affair with a married woman will even if she has ten wedding bands on his right ring finger. So its not really a sign of fidelity.
Fidelity is a thing of the heart
So what is yours worth?
