Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Greek]

I am amused that the significant step she made to stabilizing the marriage involved picking out a beautiful new piece of jewelry. All the men on this site should take note of that.

Doesn't amuse me. Hits home. Those rings mean something. Note how many of the men on here notice and lament the days that their W takes that beautiful jewelry OFF.

Our engagement ring band broke years ago before The Troubles. I told him about it, hinted around it many times, but no one noticed but me that the symbol of our relationship was broken. One of the first things I did when I moved back home after leaving was to take that ring MYSELF to a jeweler and made a new ring from it. Coach and I talked about this just this weekend. We talked about why it matters that WE have this symbol in good repair. TO ME ... it is how I show the world that I belong to a family that holds these rings as a sort of crest - this is OUR ring - the jewelry my children will remember as belonging to their parents - and a TREASURE they will want to preserve.

Wedding rings are more than just bling.
