So the question: Do you need a ring to signify this? Why or why not?
It's a matter or choice. In all my marriages .. I never wore my rings after the first few months. When I wore my rings, it was a symbol of my love for my husband and the commitment we had for each other. After each one of them broke the commitment, I refused to wear my ring. The ring was a significant part of our commitment. It also let other people know that I was happy with my partner and intended to remain loyal.
For me .. a ring does mean a lot. Some may not put the same value on it as I do but .... if they are truly committed, they will find something to be symbolic.
Snail .. if you were whole heartedly committed to someone, would you want other people to know it an if so, what would that be?
