Wedding bands

The 3rd ring is actually an eternity ring usually given to the wife after the birth of their 1st child.

Look, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and a nooky between the bed sheets.....

a way to a woman's heart are: jewels, french perfume, shoes and flowers (not neccessarily in that order)

Thats how it is.

In the Arab nations, upon marriage you give your wife 1 kilo of gold; so I'd be thankful for what you have and be grateful western women don't ask for a kilo of real diamonds!

I can't speak for every man but the way to my heart is through my head, or directly through my chest but I'm hoping the latter is never proven. My wife is a fantastic cook and I literally could care less. Now the latter between the sheets thing that can trump the heart if it isn't there but has nothing to do with my heart.

Also from experience the real ways to a woman's heart are kindness, compassion, a good disposition and a positive outlook on life. Jewels, Perfumes, shoes, and flowers are the ways into a woman's pants, not her heart. Again though I can't speak for everyone just what my experience has taught me.

Yeah, whatever....and you keep believing in that but a woman likes her gifts from time to time to show how much she's appreciated.

I have been married for almost 18 years now. Nor me and my husband have been wearing our weddingbands for 14 years. We decided that it was not that necessary to wear them. The most important thing is that we know that we are married. Also the fact that no one should think that they own somebody or being owned by someone. Two people should be together because they want to, not because they have to.
Not all girls are "Material girls" . I think they exist in the same amount as "material boys"

Oh, that entrenched red-neck misogyny raising its head again, huh ?

And the 'get over it ' comment (in addition to being several years past its use-by date) reveals the seething resentment and anger

Listen, either a guy is prepared to fully support his own children -- or he shouldn't presume to have any

OR --- OR -- he can split the marital assets with his wife and they can BOTH pay half each of the cost of a full-time house-keeper-nanny for their children

Because full-time-house-keeper-nannies do NOT come cheap. And why should they ? Why would anyone work double the usual working week for less than at least double the average weekly wage ? And caring for children and a home requires far more than 9 to 5 working hours

SO -- if the guy is prepared to pay half the cost of a house-keeper-nanny for his kids --- and half the cost of accomodation for his kids and the nanny -- and half the cost of food and utilities for his kids and the nanny -- and half the cost of his kids education, extra-curricular, medical, dental, etc. costs for his kids -- then fine. That will mean both he AND his ex-wife can move on with their lives unencumbered by their kids. Then let's see if you describe the house-keeper-nanny as living a life of luxury while he eats crackers and cheese, huh ?

Tell that crap to the 1.6 million "fathers" that are paying child support for children that are not theirs!

Paternity fraud, expensive rings, child support + alimony - - All involved in today's "love"

1.6 Million Men Paying Child Support For Children That Are Not Theirs

I want to spend lots of my money on my fiance....well I just did actually. I didnt do it because she wanted it and because she is materialistic, I did it because she thought it was beautiful, and I wanted to show her how much I appreciated her.

Nice but in my book nicer would be a savings account with the money a lead to retirement savings or college fund if you have kids, I guess if people have all the money they need fine expensive junk that is never of much value if you try and resale it later.

First of all thanks to all for sharing your opinion in this forum. I really like your answer. But when we talk about choosing an engagement ring, an engagement and wedding ring is a way to show how much you love someone and that you want to be with that person for the rest of your life. The size of the ring really doesn't matter as long as you can live up to the expectations of the actual act of marriage.

I have 3 little diamonds in my wedding band...

The ring is a tool of society, to show you are "off the market".

As for how ostentatious a ring is, well, that's no different than buying a fancy car, etc. Up to the folks involved how crazy they want to get. My wife and I got what was in our budget, with the idea that hopefully, as time goes on, we may upgrade.

Going into debt over it though, is just plain ridiculous. I'd rather put the money towards a house or some other investment in the marriage, than a useless rock on a piece of metal.

A wedding ring is symbolic and powerful on its own, but engraving something personal on the inside gives it a little something extra – without even adding much expense. The challenge is to choose a meaningful, timeless inscription that will still describe your feelings decades from now.
