Of what use is an engagement ring to a man? He 'buy' the woman to himself from her parents. The engagement ring on her finger is a sign of ownership. That someone owns her and as such prospective 'buyers' should stay off her. It is the man who 'buy'(woo,married) the woman and not the other way round and as such,the woman wearing the ring shows she is somebody's possession.

It is so because its the man that's doing the marrying, not the woman.

My kind of faith/belief do not condone the use of rings.

But as you know, I cannot force my belief on my significant other, if shes okay with one, then... good for her.

@Acidosis, Ok.
Re: Why Is That Men Dont Wear Engagement Ring?? by Acidosis(m): 11:45am On Oct 22, 2013
The ring has absolutely nothing to add to a marital life..

Rings in Wedding Ceremonies :

The use of rings in wedding ceremonies is traced back to the early part of the fourth century.30 However, the first explicit description of the ring’s usage seems to come from Isidore of Seville, who became archbishop of that city in 595. He wrote: [s]"The ring is given by the espouser to the espoused either for a sign of mutual fidelity or still more to join their hearts by this pledge; and therefore the ring is placed on the fourth finger because a certain vein, it is said, flows thence to the heart."31 [/s]

The belief that the fourth finger (counting from the thumb), has a vena amoris–a love vein running directly to the heart–is obviously pure superstition.

The annular (ring) finger shares the same "route" to the heart as the other fingers. In spite of its superstitious origin, the custom of wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand has prevailed in most Christian countries to this day.

Y Wont U?

Wearing a wedding ring though, does not provide 100% guarantee dat d man is faithful.

But i fink it depict some proud n worthiness in d man's life & in his marriage.


If not for anything, i suppose it'll be good to see d wedding ring as a band dat

1)BINDS d LOVE shared.
2)REMINDS d Vow made in GOD's presence. 3)Represents a sign dat u re bonded n probably do not share a separate life any longer.

Coming to the topic, why should a guy wear an engagement ring? The purpose of that ring is to engage the girl, so that all these boys that goes up and down, looking for a behind to devour, will know that the 'inyarinya' is out of bounds. No need 4 us 2 start flaunting engagement rings on Instagram with a tongue pulled out and a Mirroric iphone in front.

Where I come from, we do not join a man and a woman with a ring.

What we use is a Bible.
If you ask me, I'll want to say a vow made using a Bible is stronger.

If for any reason, you want to make a vow in God's presence, I think a ring is such an inappropriate "thing" to use..

Talking about 'being proud of your spouse',

There are some men who do not like to take their wives around and to places... yet these people will readily flaunt rings as if the ring is better off their wives at home.

I do not think I'll like the idea of attaching my life to an idol..

Some would even cry blood when they misplace their ring.. smh
Crying over something they do not know its origin is laughable..

Who love don love...

Beautifully said.

I have not said dat marital vows re made wif d band, it is always wif the Bible.

Just my cent, i suppose d band is a symbol and a reminder.

Engagement and wedding rings are simply an overrated piece of crap and an avenue of making a man lavish his hard earned money.
It doesn't stop either of them from sleeping around. Doesnt instill chastity of any form.
Marriage ID cards sld b substituted for that handcuff ringcuff wey person dey wear.
For those of you that wear one, goodluck!!
