Wedding Ring: To Wear or Not to Wear....That Seems to Be The Question.

Prince William and Kate seem to have stirred up a great deal of interest  in the wedding ring.  Prince William has announced that he will not wear a wedding ring. 

Now the question is being asked about its importance.  How important is it that a man wear or not wear a ring.  Does it mean that he is not committed?  Does it make it easier for him to be unfaithful?  Does it mean....???

I for one never considered anything but receiving a ring from my bride and wearing it proudly.  Does it make me anymore married?  No!  Does it prove I am married?  No!  Does it declare I am married?  LOUDLY!!!

I wear a ring because my bride gave it to me.  It is a symbol of our commitment.  It is a token of our love.  It is an unending circle representing the permanence of our commitment.  It is made of precious metal symbolic of the purity of our love. 

I do take my ring off when I play golf.  I took it off when I use to play softball.  There were two reasons.  To keep from damaging it and to keep it from hurting me. 

My son-in-law lost his wedding ring playing beach volleyball.  You know what he did?  He went back to the court and dug methodically in the sand until he found it.  Miracle!  Of course he was praying all the while.

Men, when people see that ring on your finger it tells them you belong to someone else.  It should declare a commitment and love.

Whether Prince William wears a ring or not is his business, but it is also Kate's.  For one I think she should make a big deal about it.  She probably won't, but making a big deal about it now might keep it from being a big deal later.  Just saying.

Man up guys.  Declare to the world that you are committed.  Wear her ring and wear it proudly.
