    How important is your wedding ring. I've been married 21 years but don't wear it much do to work but I've always had it with me. Then 4 years ago when we moved I packed it someplace safe and didn't find it tell a few weeks ago. We bought another one for me and I only where it when I'm out doing something like dinner. My wife doesn't really mind.

    On the other side my wife wears hers most of the time (takes it off when gardening and so on). But a few years age when she ended up in the hospital they had to cut it off because of the swelling in her hands. I had a new one made and she loves it.

    Just wondering how important is your ring to you or your partner? I know some people that have never taken there's off.

    Well, I'm not married so I don't know if that disqualifies my opinion but my boyfriend and I have promise rings. They look just like wedding bands and we're both very attached to them. We bought them for each other online and his is slightly too big for him but he insisted on still wearing it so he put it on his middle finger until I can get a new one. I wear mine 100% of the time and so does he.

    It's not the worst thing in the world if you don't wear it a lot, but to some it might mean more. Neither way is wrong really. Your wife is okay with it, so unless you're not then carry on with what you've been doing. Put it on a chain or something while at work if you want to keep it with you.

    i'm not married, but i hate wearing jewelery so i don't see myself wearing one constantly. that said, it is a pretty important symbol, so i would keep such a thing in a safe, yet visible place. in theory anyway.

    It's gotta be worth $700000 for me to be interested.

    We both had rings...I've had a few, and we've lost all of them. So...I guess rings aren't that big of a deal to us. I'd feel really bad about losing mine if he didn't lose his as well. :D

    I lost mine for about an hour and had a panic attack until I found it in my bra. My damn breasts are an abyss apparently because this wasn't the first time I lost something in there :p

    We pawned mine to by food and medicine for my husband and couldn't afford to get it out of the pawn shop.
    My husband's was sold to one of those gold purchasing places, along with some other rings, for the same reason.
    Selling your wedding rings to eat and buy medication that one of you needs is another way of saying "I Love You".

    My original ring is to small for me now. I keep it on a chain with a silver cross my wife gave me sometimes I wear it but for no special occasion. I just put in on and wear it for a few days.

    I wear mine 99% of the time. So does my wife. It is highly important to me. I am very traditional when it comes to that. My wife is as well. My first wife (of whom I will never forgive) cheated on me. One of my concerns was as to if she had the decency to remove her ring. When I finally got my answer, I moved out the next day. It is a symbol of a bond (IMHO). My second wife understands that. We have titanium rings. Much stronger than gold. Plain bands, but symbolic. Of my closest friends (there are 10 of us) I am the only one who wears a ring.

    the rings just don't mean much to me or my wife, we pretty much have them because that's what you do when you get married lol.

    Even though I do not like jewellery of any type - it was important to me at the time to show my commitment to my partner - it did nothing to prevent her to move on to a.n.other however, so it would mean absolutly nothing for me in the future

    My wedding ring is important to me. I have only taken my rings off for cleaning, and when I had surgery. My husband always wears his ring. :)
