Yeah, you are married, You wanna get married, You ARE gonna get married; why is the wedding ring placed on the 4th finger?

I suspect it's got something to do with freemasonry or ancient idolatry. It's a European culture after all.

No...it doesn't stop the cheats but the loyals take it to heart. In fact, I know a guy that doesn't even wear his but is true to her to the core. God help us choose right.

I don't know.

I'm not married but I'm putting on a ring and it's on my 4th finger. Instincts I guess.

Correct. It was a belief held by the Greeks and Romans. They called it vena amoris = vein of love.

OP, you could have just used a search engine. We live in the 21st century, not the Dark Ages.
