My husband quit wearing his wedding ring when he got it caught on some equipment and it nearly took his finger off. I don’t wear one because I end up taking it off all of the time. I’m a musician and play guitar and it gets in the way.
We still have our wedding rings (locked away for safe keeping) and have been married for over 31 years. We have had no problems identifying ourselves as married - with or without the ring. It is a symbol of marriage. It is not THE marriage.
bingo!
