May be worth an eternity.
A commercialized excessive expense ... Nothing more ...
You can give it a try,the important thing is that he(the ring) exists and to wear it...can help,I think.
I don't wear one, it feels weird on my finger and i never could get used to it.
Yes you are right,money have no importance ,money cannot buy happiness,but the ring can bring it.
I am engaged now and the ring means alot to me. We are both religious and getting married in a church. For us, the ring symbolizes our union and faith in the big 3. We are spending a few extra dollars on the rings to get eternity bands, to symbolize the eternity our souls will be together.

I thought the ring is made to last a life time and that he brings respect and love and children and...many other things through good and bad...and all that remains after the years passed by.
The meaning of the Ring, for me, is the lure of power, and the subtle poison that makes us addicted to that poer, or pleasure. Basically, your carnal desires are satiated, but you always want more, and then you become addicted.
Not necessary... that is what love is for...for both to agree one more then the other.
Disagreeing would have made her unhappy
In my humble opinion what gives value to That Love is That Ring,not only that it gives value but gives dimension in time and it is a base to build the future a future to last forever..but maybe it's just me.

Well, i dont really believe in marriage i think its a waist of time, and i dont need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to prove to my girl i love her, also my gf is ok with that so the rings to me really mean nothing other than a way to get money if i was in a bind and i needed it.

That is true.
Especially those who take it off when they go out by themselves
At least remain symbolism.
A ring really means nothing to either of us. People who wear rings have no great success in marriage.
Only the love has the power but in time that ring can preserve the Love between two people to remember them for eternity.

It's just the opposite for me. You can love someone without a ring. But to give a ring without the love is meaningless. The ring doesn't have ANY power. It's just a physical representation of something. The love has the power.
Maybe it has
The ring doesn't have ANY power.
Being married extends your lifespan, and the longer your marriage lasts, the lower your chance of dying. Sociologists at Duke University in the US discovered this when they analysed data from the Health and Retirement Study, in which researchers monitored ten thousand Americans born between 1931 and 1941.
Earlier studies had already shown that marriage is healthy for men in particular. After a divorce or the death of a partner, the chance of dying increases considerably for the man left behind. Researchers put this down to the fact that women are better able to take care of themselves than men, and that women usually have a better social network.
