Newlyweds, happily married, “working things out”, or plain confused, describes the status of countless marriages. What is clear however is their status, made known by the big or small wedding ring worn on the respective finger. While a ring may not always be worn by the husband, the wife regularly wears hers. Though when going through serious marital issues and the wife is faced with evaluating her situation-considering whether to stay or leave the marriage, or in the process of going through a divorce, many wives stop wearing their wedding ring.

The sudden transition from wearing a ring to being ring-less is a new adjustment made known to the public. If her decision is to keep it off, she obviously can expect questions, judgment, and investigation. In order to avoid that stress, the transition happens immediately and a new ring-symbolic of nothing, replaces her wedding ring.

In ancient times, the ring was usually shaped as serpent reaching its tail and hence formed a circle and the circle symbolizes eternity. So in today's marriage, a[b] ring symbolizes eternal bondage to a woman that will drive you crazy and nag you till you either divorce her or die an early death![/b]

Da Doctor:

IN YORUBA, WE CALL IT 'ORUKA'

A ring in the hand in marriage signifies 'A BOND'

But like you know, 'WHO CARES??',  Those skimpy ladies prefer we ringed-ones, So to them it may mean something else.
ALL IN ALL , IT MEANS SO MANY THINGS TO SO MANY SETS.


Am i correct??

A ring is a symbol, how do u know someone is married without the ring, ? how many people will you have to explain your status to, especially when the guys or babes are coming at you, the ring tells everyone, i have decided to committ myself to one person only, others !! 'see the ring and back off'.
