Wedding symbolizes that we are tied to our love and belong to someone already under the vows that you two made before God.It has its deep sentiment on it that we all wanted to have it and keep it forever in our fingers. But what could be the safest way to avoid losing it? I am married and me and my husband don't wear wedding ring since we often times took it off because we are afraid it to be scratched and lose it shine when we do our house chores, and because of that, He always ends up misplacing the ring that scares us to wear it anymore. I feel guilty of not wearing it, like it has no value anymore.

Each couple has their own thing that they do. My husband and myself always wear our wedding rings. My parents are the same way. My Mom actually has multiple rings so that if she is working in the garden for example or around the house, she puts on her plain band as opposed to her wedding ring. My husbands Mom wears her ring most of the time, whereas his step Dad does not. That is understandable though because he works in construction and wearing a ring would not be safe.

Yes I agree wedding rings are very important. But I think that its important to wear them. Maybe you could get a less expensive one. On overstock dot com they have them for as little as 10.00. The good one can be kept for special occasions. Like to wear to a special event. If you have a cheaper one, it wont be as bad if you lose it.

Hello mrebie1401,
My husband does not have a wedding band because of his work.We were afraid that with all the machines and equipment he uses daily it could rip his finger off.I do believe that a wedding ring symbolizes love and marriage, so he had a ring tatooed on him. I have my wedding band, but because I was afraid of losing it I have mine around my necklace. I had recieved a gold chain on our wedding day and with it I put my wedding band on it.

I always wear my wedding and e-ring; my husband feels sad whenever he sees my hand empty of these. But he knows that whenever I do my chores I take it off; I put these in my ring case. Its like a jewelry case but its specially made for rings. I've lost my original e-ring and he bought me another one. Good thing he never got mad at me. Until now I feel sad when I remember how careless I've been.

Tell your husband to put it in your jewelry box so he knows where it is all the time. The same would go for you too, especially when you are cleaning. Just put it in one place all the time before you decide to do anything, and this way it will be safe.

I wear mine all the time, except when I am teaching swim lessons. If the water is cold, my rings fall off. My husband wears his except for working in the yard. We did not spend a huge amount of money on them, as we had just graduated from college with no jobs lined up and student loans to pay off.
