Is it ok to get engaged without an engagement ring?

My husband proposed to me without a ring thats why i didn't think that he was serious... till this day i still don't have my own ring i am wear my mother rings and my husband and i have been married for 4 months now.. I think that it is okay but you need to get her a ring soon after or she might not think that you are serious... For a week i didn't know my husand was serious about getting married i had to ask him if he was serioud about that... I don't mind wearing my mothers ring at all but it is time for me to get my own ring i think... I wouldn't kick someone out of a relationship if they couldn't present an engagement ring.. that is stupid i knew my husband couldn't afford one cause he is in the military so there for i knew that he could afford one.. So i am stil being patient to get my ring and i know that he will let me get whatever i want since he made me wait this long for one... I don't think that it it right that someone kick someone out of a relationship because he couldn't present a ring...

A relationship moving forward is a wonderful thing, leads to engagement then to marriage. I personally do not feel that the engagement ring is a requirement compared to a ring for the marriage ceremony. After all, the relationship/engagement/marriage is based on love, love is not based on a shiny ring, a big stone, or a heavy price tag. The ring is a material symbol of how much someone paid for the other to show off, it isnt a measure of love. Think of the american flag, I do not need to have it flying in my backyard or wear it as a sash, to believe in patriotism and liberty in my heart. So, for anyone that requires a ring to make it official, get rid of that high-maintenance princess/queen-attitude materialistic thinking (I am aiming it towards women because most of the time it is usually a female) and take heart on what really matters: love, trust and happiness.

An engagement ring is a symbol and is only as important as the person wearing, or not wearing, it thinks it should be. I don't think the inability to produce a ring is a good reason to end a relationship and, really, if the guy meant that little to the woman, he's better off without her. I personally believe, though, that is a man is going to propose marriage to a woman he should have some kind of ring in his pocket.

WEll its pretty much important. i mean those things those when we older. Will you marry me, and the guy pulls out the ring. I can't imagine myseld doing that years from now. good thing im still a senior in high school. too nervous
