LOL... I work where I deal with people all day.. and one thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of married women that don't wear their wedding rings.. I'll be talking with a nice lady and think hmmmmm she doesn't have a wedding ring on and then the next I know she'll mention something about her husband.. lol and it makes me wonder why she doesn't have her wedding ring on... Why don't women wear their wedding rings?... 1. Don't know why.. but when I get married I'll always wear mine.. 2. Equal rights.. most men don't were their ring so women aren't going to either.. 3. Your dork Yender.. the wedding ring is worn on the left hand!.. lol 4. Their probably not really married Yendor.. they just don't want you hitting on them!.. lol 5. Other Banana and toothbrushes... Oh no not again... lol Life is too short so Lighten Up a bit... |

Possibly their husband is deceased, but they still are avowed to him in their heart, thus the reference to husband irrespective of tense. Some are separated. Some may need to resize because of a weight change, or they have a job where wearing a ring is hazardous. I often refer to having to discuss things with my "partner". They don't realize I mean God. Guess what? You needed to use the poll option for this question.

Why do some women wear rings that could be mistaken for wedding rings when they're not married?

REALITY CHICK CHECK: one of the reasons: a lot of time it has to do with the ring not fitting anymore and not wanting to get it re-sized. they'd rather think that their finger will get smaller again. sorry, but that is true. and some of the rings don't resize that easily. and, it's not on the top of the necessary expenses list either!     REALITY HUNK CHECK: always make sure your loved one has a ring that fits!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO, shar  sharFather Son HolySpirit

 After much consideration I really think that the jeweler's are mending them at the time. I was given my Mum's eternity ring and had it re-sized and now wear it proudly on my left ring finger, I would be happy to tell anyone who asks I was single and I am not the superstitious type. Truly Sue

Some people believe that the wedding ring came from paganism, which it did, actually. Its a historical fact. Here, I will just copy and paste this, I havent even read it all so dont blame me for what it says... There is no wedding ring in the Old Testament. The wedding ring comes from paganism. It cannot be found in the Old or New Testaments. There was no practice among early Christians to wear finger rings as a sign of marriage or an engagement. Pope Gregory 1, in 860AD decreed that as a required statement of nuptial intent, the groom to be had to give his intended an engagement ring. He further decreed the ring be of gold to signify financial sacrifice. The first diamond engagement ring is the one given by King Maximillian in 1477 to Mary of Burgundy. Wedding rings can be traced to idols and heathen religions. It is not just the image of the idol we are commanded not to possess, but rather any part of the idol itself. Thus, to make ones self after the image of the idol is to practice idolatry. All images of false gods and goddesses show the use of earrings, finger rings, bracelets, nose rings, and other jewelry. Where do we find this same practice associated with the God of the Bible? Did Jesus wear jewelry? Did the Apostles and early Christians? The answer is no! The wedding ring is first a circle which is said to mean eternal or unending. Marriages were never eternal in the Scriptures but rather until death. Afterward a spouse could be married again. The idea then of eternal marriages symbolised by the ring is not Biblical. This meaning of the ring is false. So the ring gives a false testimony. The wedding ring then is not representative of the true union of the bridegroom and his bride. The home of the couple is more a witness and testimony of marriage then a wedding ring. For it is in the home the marriage is honored and sustained. The wedding ring originated in Babylon, the cradle of civilization. The most ancient ring discovered there is in the shape of the eternal serpent. The image of the serpent biting its tail to form the circle of the ring is an ancient satanic symbol (***satanic ouroboros) . The same symbol is used by the Theosophy Cult. Satan as the serpent, that great dragon of Revelation 12, has by this symbol joined a man and a woman under his cult. God is not the serpent symbol of any wedding ring, nor is he the symbol of the wedding ring in any fashion. We may trace the ring not to the God of the Bible but to the accuser of the brethren. Where is there any ring that symbolizes God? Did God provide wedding rings for Adam and Eve? Remove this idolatrous symbol from the Church and the Pastor is accused of being legalistic, against marriage, incouraging adultery and lust. The Pastor's Church is labeled a cult. The fact is, over 70% of married spouses who commit fornication do not remove their wedding rings prior to the act, during the act, or after the act. Wedding rings have not stopped one act of adultery. Not one husband or wife has said: "I cannot commit adultery because I have my wedding ring on." The pagan origin of the wedding ring raise questions about its adoption by Christians to represent the marriage union. The value of symbols is determined by their origin and meaning. The Menorah, the Cross, the Lord’s Passover emblems of bread and wine with footwashing, and baptism, are all acceptable symbols, because they have been established by God to help us understand spiritual truth. Their value is derived from their divine origin and not from man-made paganism. By contrast, the meaning of the wedding ring as a symbol of marriage commitment finds its origin not in Scripture, but in pagan mythology and superstitions. To give a pagan superstitutious symbol a Christian meaning leads to perversion of the right ways of God. The fourth finger DOES NOT contain a special nerve to the heart. It is superstitutious to believe if a person removes their wedding ring that evil will befall the marriage. Did a ring join them together or was it GOD? When a ring is made to join two people, God is CAST OUT and replaced by a piece of jewelry. This is exactly what has happened with the use of the wedding ring, superstitution is believed and this is borderline witchcraft. Many claim they need to wear the ring to ward off men or women who might think they are otherwise available. This is not true, the man or woman who is married will not be a flirt, will not entice lust, and will come out plainly and say "I am married." There is no need to allow a pagan superstitutious symbol say what should be said with lips and conduct. Christian religions that originally rejected wedding rings: The Methodist followed the teachings of John Wesley that wedding rings were pagan and should not be worn. Mennonites likewise rejected the wedding ring as pagan. All early Baptist in America rejected use of the pagan wedding ring. The original Seventh Day Adventist abstained from use of the wedding ring because of its pagan origin. All the holiness movements, including the more devout Apostolic Pentecostals rejected wedding rings as pagan. There was a time in America when the majority of Christians did not wear jewelry of any kind including earrings and wedding rings. But this was to change when Pastors wanted their Churches to be more world friendly. The theory behind this relaxation was that Christianity was more then holiness and wearing of jewelry. The emphasis on personal holiness fell into decline in the later 1800s and from that time wedding rings became more and more accepted. This leavening process brought other backslidings: casual drinking of alcohol was permitted; smoking of tobacco was allowed, dipping snuff was ok, chewing tobacco was left up to the person's own convictions; card playing and use of dice games came into homes; women began to wear slacks/pants, and having their hair bobbed (cut) was no longer frowned upon or preached against. Makeup was no longer seen as a Jezebel practice. The focus switched from being Godly to being self-centered. What has happened? Christians use Biblical terms like holiness but they no longer mean by this word what the Scriptures mean. The greater problem with wedding rings is the next step in spiritual maturity of forsaking all paganism and worldliness. Those who wear pagan wedding rings are not likely to make a stand against any other paganism practiced by Catholics and Protestants. We have a generation who now walk by sight and not by a holiness faith. Many claim jewelry and rings are a minor thing. Indeed they are minor. There is much more to living for God then wearing jewelry and rings. But, if they are such a minor thing why is it so hard to get people to pull them off? The Bible reveals that use of jewelry results in spiritual decline and apostasy. It is time to let God strip us down and let him dress us. What is wrong with that? Let God in your closet. Let God strip you of these pagan ornaments. Since wedding rings are such a minor thing, why not remove them and let your holiness and purity speak for your marriage? At last, where are those who wear earrings, wedding rings, bracelets, necklaces, nose rings, any different then the idols pictured above. Have people made themselves after the image of their idols and not after God? Now someone prove God wears jewelry and this page will be retracted.

okay now I'll go back and read it LOL! Seriously, I just thought you might want to see another view of things. Ive known ALOT of Christians who refuse to wear rings, jewelry of ANY kind, including the wedding ring, for this reason. You'd be AMAZED at what the Bible actually says about it, especially in old testament times. Jewelry was always associated with idolatry. You could delete these posts if you want to... and just read them for yourself.. But you DID ask the question!

I've noticed that too, but then my mother still wears her wedding rings, and my dad passed on over 3 1/2 years ago. She says she couldn't get them off her finger if she wanted to, and she refuses to have them cut off, so she just leaves them. Isaiah 66:2b; But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.

I wore my wedding ring until the divorce was final even though I was separated for some time and all the diamonoid chips had fallen out. About five years later I was introduced to Jesus and a few years after that I found out there was a difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge. When I started my a heart relationship with Jesus, I bought a simple silver band with the word Faith written around it three times. I have never seen a band like it before and it only fit one finger at that time. I wore it on my marriage finger until recently when I gained weight and moved it to my pinky finger on my left hand. It is a symbol to me of my relationship with Christ and my faith in Him as my Lord and Savior.

If I ever have the privelege of being married again, I will wear my ring or rings with pride. I want to show the world that O have found a loving partner, a friend with whom I can share the rest of my life. Walking, and praising and trusting my Lord for the rest of my life

It might be comfort, loss, safety, forgetfulness or culture. In China, no one wears a wedding ring but personal questions like, "How much money do you make?" and, "Are you married?" are perfectly acceptable. As wearing a wedding ring is not one of the 10 commandments or Jesus' top two [love the Lord your God with all your heart... ] I see no reason why one should. It's nice but it's not commanded. Rod, ya just gotta assume all women are off limits! You only get one, anyway so the the 2,999,999,999 other women on the planet are not for you!!  [ Actually a single's pastor said that we should say to ourselves upon meeting someone of the opposite sex, 'this is not the one.' It allows us to get to know the person first as a person. Later, if it is God's one for us, it will be easy to shift. And in the meantime, no ackward mistakes will happen. ]

Ya know something Mr. Yendor.. I'm a guy and I didn't wear mine at times for several reasons. One of which is that I'm not a jewelry type of guy but..did like wearing my wedding ring. At work ( I worked manual labor in a factory) ..I was destroying my ring with the work I did. Finally, I'd put it in my pocket to save the wear and tear on it. If I forgot to take it off when I got to work.. I'd stick it in my pocket to scrub off the heavy grime I'd get into. I left it on the sink one time ..panicked as I searched my pockets and bless God..found it at the sink later. One of the times I rushed out of work after washing up and left it in my pocket. My wife found it there and pitched a fit..entertaining her worst fears from mind to mouth to my ear drums. One time earlier this year, I took it off in anger as she wanted me gone. Somehow..things came somewhat back to the place of unity. But.. I couldn't find my wedding ring. I searched everywhere..I mean I literally tore my bags and stuff apart looking for that lost ring. I concluded that either my wife had taken it or..? I really felt bad about loosing it. Well, now I'm gone out of the house again and while packing my things.. Wouldn't you know it..I FOUND IT ! There at the bottom of one of my cloths banana boxes..there it was. Before I left, I slammed it down and left it there in the house. Wish I didn't but..I did. Going to write more later..Have to go to work.
