Should men get engagement rings?

Personally, I think the relationship should outweigh all this. If its really great with your partner, which it should be, this should not be an issue. If I was in this I would be thinking about being married and not about anything on my fingers.

I wanted my fiance to have the same thing, and I can understand that you would feel the same. As far as getting your fiance one, I don't see anything wrong with it, but instead of doing that you can always have him wear your class ring on a necklace, or if you had a bracelet wear that. I got a bracelet but not a class ring and my fiance doesn't wear it, but I still know that he loves and cherishes me. The fact is, we don't have a job and are never seen apart.. lol, except for this saturday when I go get fitted for a dress.. In any case, go with what you want, I think it'd be very romantic to do that!

I don't think it's odd perse, but it does depend on how he feels about it - some people really aren't used to the idea of jewelry, and so anything other than a wedding band they might not be comfortable with. At any rate, it's a thoughtful sign of your commitment. (I'm female, and I rarely wore my engagement ring; I always wear my wedding band).

[i]Hi tlb, I don't think it is odd! You can get him also for a ring, I have a lot of friends who are doing that, I didn't get anything to my hubby before! LOL! I love to but just cannot afford for one! LOL![/i]

I agree that men should get engagement rings also. I know I would feel better that If my man had an engagement that way people know his taken. I also know that if my sister boyfriend had engegement then maybe it would help them because theres a girls saying that her boyfriend is seeing her.

Yes! I think it's sweet if he's willing to wear one. It signifies that he's taking too. Married people wear ring. Although I've never wear a ring in my life. So, I think it's a great idea to give him a ring for Christmas and it doesn't need to be so fancy. You can just get a silver band. I think it'll be a great idea.

When we were engaged, my wife was not the only one who had a ring on her finger, I myself also bought one fro myself. I agree with you. It signifies a bond or being engaged. I bought a ring myself so my wife would feel that I am really true to her and that I would keep my promise.

it is really good to wear engagement ring, it shows en everlasting love to your partner, me and my husband get married after three and half years, but we dont have engagement ring, we just wear ring after our marriage, and we always wear it.

That should be the case, both should have an engagement rings which my partner and I have...

engagement rings are exchanged rings between the couples, we too bought two one is in my finger and other glitters at my partnes hand and specially we have incorporated our names too on that and exchaged between us

yeah ,i n my mind,i think we should get a ring when we are engaged with GF it is important in our life ,some people said that we,d better not ,but i do not agree with them, and now ,i am still available ,i do not have a engage ring,and i do not want to have it .but not when i am engaged with my GF,cuz i love my GF and god bless you

I think its a beautifull gesture on your part to want your man to have an engagement ring as well.I never really thought of the idea until you mentioned it and i am loving it[lol A band would be a great christmas gift! happy mylotting

Yes men should also have an engagement ring. What so odd about it really??Perhaps some of them don't want to say that they're already commited Well,just kidding. Anyways,men should wear the ring if women should also.. If not the rule can be relaxed.Best wishes for ur marriage life

i dont think it would be odd for men to have engagement rings if it will signify your seriousness to the relationship. you should also consider if your fiancee would be comfortable wearing one. it's not just what you would want in a relationship but what he also wants. so you better ask him first..;o)

I've never heard of a man having an engagement ring, so it does seem a little odd to me. However, if you do get your fiance a ring and he does wear it maybe you'll start a new trend! Who knows? LOL

I think from a guys prospective there is nothing wrong with a guy wearing an engagement ring to show that you both are engaged and love each other my fiance has a bracelet but I do not wear it because I do not like stuff on my wrists other than my watch and few stretchy bracelets that I have acquired,and not long ago me and my fiance got a new engagement ring that my mom showed us an add for,and it has both our birthstones,and our names,and I think we were both thinking that it would be nice to get one for both of us,and I think that would be a very neat idea for a couple who is engaged to do something like that.

Yes,it is good to wear rings but in Islam golden rings or things are not permitted for men.Even i did not wear any golden ring on my marriage but my wife wore it.We are required to submit to divine will..........So we are happy for it.

Hi tlb, No I think it is a great idea! If I were engaged to a man and we weren't in a hurry to get married I would want him to wear some kind of ring to show that he is "taken". I don't see anything wrong with that at all. My boyfriend and I have no plans to get married, but if I could afford it I would like to get him a ring just to show that we are together and that he is with me and that we are in a relationship even though we aren't going to marry. I really do think that men should have engagement rings too. That way they it would be alot easier for them to show that they are "taken". Why should the women be the only ones to wear engagment rings? I always wondered about that. A guy could still go out to a bar (as you I'm sure know lol) and he is engaged, but unless he tells someone how do they know? I think you should put something on his finger right away! Call it a "promise ring", just get it on there soon! Oh, and make sure it stays there!

Every woman would want the same thing with our man, i guess as it symbolizes that they are already engaged as well and it will serve as a reminder that soon they wont be single anymore. some guys dont wear engagement ring though

Unless the actual ritual/symbolism of exchanging the bands during your wedding ceremony is important to either of you then I see nothing wrong with getting his band early. You're together, you intend to stay that way forever, then why wait until you're 'supposed too' to get him his ring? When you finally do tie the knot and you get the rest of your wedding set you could always take his ring to the jewellers and get it polished up for the exchange of rings during the ceremony. I agree with you that it would be nice for him to have a little 'hands off, he's mine' symbol on his left hand too!
