OK wearing of ring isn't real a symbol of love but to identify u in a civil society your status.

I don't bliv in wearing of ring,neva in d bible,God neva gave Adam n eve but recent event made me understand y.

I had dis lady dat was interested,she started droppin me off from my bus stop to office daily,knew she need a man but alwz felt bad cos she chose d wrng guy n it was my fault as I dnt wear ring.it wasn't a gud experience 4 me. Thankful coro lockdwn helped me out.she's married now,knew she was searching fr a hubby n she seems d church type.

I stil dnt wear n neva will,I also dnt care if Mrs doesnt wear but undrstand y some wear n it's not a bad idea r cultUre

So I was hosting an uncle of mine and we were discussing about why he wasn't wearing his ring, to my utmost surprise he said he wears his ring any day his wife wears hers. I was shocked though but my mind drifted back to me so many of my friends and relations who also do not wear their rings again even despite being married.

Back in the days I know you only take off your ring when you want to flirt abi play away matches, but these days it's almost as if they take off their wedding rings immediately after those church weddings.

So my question is why?

wetin you call am wedding ring.....it does not stop and preserve fidelity or insincerity in marriage. I have seen men putting on there rings and still go after single ladies and even sleep with them....
what you should be asking is: was the ring a commandment from God in joining couples of old?

That's not the point. The question is why some married people don't wear their wedding rings.

Answers range from weight gain(quite common), to trying to be different, to removing it so often they see no point wearing it.

Mine didn't last one week after wedding, I remove it because I'm not used to it.

The most genuine reason. It gets uncomfortable especially when you take it off and decide to put it back on later. That and weight gain.

None exactly... Just one of those man made traditions that we have now attached too much relevance to. People cheat even with their rings on so what difference does it make really?


Like a poster stated earlier, the heart knows where it belongs. Every other thing na cosmetics, lol.


Some churches don't even wed couples using a ring because it's not biblical. But this woke generation especially women would have none of that because to them the ring is everything. How do i know this? Watch them flaunt and pose with it once they get married, it's become a symbol of status.

...ring or no ring, married or single, a Flirt/Cheat will always be a Flirt/Cheat. A ring, vow or promise made to the other spouse changes nothing if the spouse in question decides not to change. People make sweet love with other people/friends/colleagues with their ring on. Same way you'd find a spouse faithful without putting on any ring even though they are married.
Most often you hear people say "once i get married i'll change". Marriage changes nobody/nothing asides marital status on paper. We're who we are. Know that and know peace. Expectations hurts.

Common with the men dem.

Most women wear their rings regularly.

But I will advise married people (M+F) to wear their wedding rings as dearly.

It's not about anything but a sign that you're a married man or woman and unavailable for any bullshiit anymore.
This would also accord you some respect from people.

Seeing a man or woman as married attracts respect.

I'd still advise married women to wear their rings religiously.

Me wey be say the first part I look on a woman is her finger. That's where my eyes go straight before evaluating her fefenefe.


Stay blessed, y'all.

It's the heart that matters. Not everybody like accessories/add ons.

Besides, you can't be replacing it everytime you misplaced it

Wedding ring is not a guarantee to remain faithful to your partner. I remembered I don't use my own up to 6 months. and in the 9years of my marriage I have not seen another woman. Marriage is a thing of mind. Just decide and make up your mind that in riches and poor that your marriage will work.

Some, It depends on their career paths.. A lot of couple may have lost their wedding rings due to the nature of their jobs.... There are some production factories that does not permit any kind of bands to avoid mistakes example some food factories.. finding a ring in a cocacola bottle, bottle of beer, sardine cans etc by mistake kills a company's reputation ... the constant putting it on and removing during shift could be annoying... so I guess that's one angle to look at it...besides, marriage is a thing of the heart...there are also the super religious ones that doesn't use wedding band as symbol of union. they use the bible.



Your last statement crowns it all. Wedding ring is unscriptural, as it originated the ancient Middle East idolatry.

It's funny when some Christians make reference to Isaac's search for wife. It was WRIST BRACELET AND NOSE RING that was given to the woman and not finger ring. Gen. 24 : 22

Wedding ring does not symbolise 'deep-rooted-love-at-heart' as the ring can be removed nano-seconds. Joining couples together with the Bible is the only sure way (this too neither guarantee total committment nor rule out infidelity, but it symbolise the WRITTEN WORD that settles in heaven.

I can authoritatively say the Bible does not have any written account of wedding ring. Though some folks ignorantly make reference to Isaac and Rebecca.

The account recorded was not 'wedding ring' but 'nose ring and wrist bracelet' which was deep-rooted in idol worshipping in the ancient Middle East.

@OP most married people wear their rings.

Exactly. And for some people, the finger is now fatter than the wedding ring……

Weeding ring is tradition not religious obligation. Faithfulness is more important that the ring.

Hmnn... I think the question should be When did the wearing of a ring symbolize a sign of love? Who sold this to us as being the right thing to do?
Adam and Eve had no ring, I can't remember if it's anywhere in the Bible, Quran, or even traditional religion? Let's wake up guys, we need to start questioning somethings.
