Thad I am not getting ugly about it.I was joking okay???? I am sure he could have worn it around his neck if that would have been the custom.The stamp of a person in authority though had to contain his seal.I suppose if you kept it on your finger it would have had to be cut off to take it from you.lol..

I really believe This too
Brother Thad then you are really wrong.My husband could backslide tonight
and I would not wear one.I had this settled long before I met him.Its between me and God.Sorry I don't have a desire for a big gawdy ring.My husband ask if I wanted to wear an engagement ring and I said no.I had already settled that conviction.

Do you realize how insulting that is. I preachers I run with ALL which preach against rings treat their wives as good wives should be treated.
I have NEVER forgotten:
My wife's birthday
Our anniversary
Mother' day.
On a regular basis I buy her flowers. She can buy buy anything we can afford without asking permission from me.

I preach against because we follow Paul's edict against gold it is that simple.

When I was a con, we didn't wear wedding rings because we believed the Bible taught against it. Now, we have simple bands. We will probably get something nicer in time.

I wore one for a month or two when I got married - then lost it.... figured it might be a sign and didn't wear one for 15 years. Then about four months ago I got another band :sshhh - thought it was the right thing to do.
