Wedding Ring Love

To me, when you put on your wedding rings it symbolizes the commitment you have to your spouse. It's not only a sign for you both, but a sign for others to show that you are in a relationship with another person. 

I don't often take mine off; though there are occasions. If I'm cooking with chicken or mixing meat by hand, they come off. If I'm doing a vigorous workout or possibly hitting something, they come off. If I'm taking the girls swimming, I will leave my engagement ring at home, but wear my wedding band. And if I'm doing one of those darn mud races, which I've been known to do, they come off. 

 And they almost always are put immediately back on. I feel naked without them, they are a part of me. 

I once read somewhere that when someone is playing with their wedding bands it's their way of thinking of their spouse; and they don't often realize they're even doing it. Kind of neat. 

I know of people who rarely wear theirs for various reasons. Some make sense, and I can't judge them for it. For example, some don't currently fit, Some can't wear due to their jobs, Some can't stand jewelry but have other ways to display, whether it be a necklace or a tattoo. But I know of other people who choose to leave their wedding rings at home when they are going for a night out with the girls or guys. It allows them to appear single I suppose. But for what reason? If it's to score a free drink, okay....but do you need to leave your rings? If it's to go out and hook up with a stranger, I think there are further issues that need to be addressed. 

I don't want to comment too much as I don't know what goes through these peoples minds or what their relationship is with their spouse, but I can't help but speculate. 

I guess, for me, I'm 100% committed to my husband. If I go out with or without him and I am approached, I don't hesitate to say I'm married. I am. I love him. And I would never try to pretend like i didn't. Hence why the wedding rings stay on :)
