On December 22, 2008 my wife Janeen and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. A symbol of a marriage is that gold wedding band. However, wearing that thing drives me nuts so I took it off 25 years ago and put it in a small box somewhere in the confines of our house. Recently she asked me to wear it for 30 days in honor of our anniversary and I begrudgingly said "Yes." I made it very clear that after 30 days it's going back in the box. Since then I have done an informal survey as to people who don't wear their wedding rings and I found the numbers to prove that many don't wear their rings for differing reasons. Like: it might get caught in my power tools; I might lose it when I'm swimming; I can't grip the golf club correctly with it on; I've gained a little weight and my fingers swell so I took it off; etc, etc. How about you? Do you wear your wedding ring or are you one of those self-proclaimed softies that says it represents the sanctity of marriage and I wear it every single day to remind me how much I love my spouse. You've got to be kidding me!
