Naw.

She had her convictions before we ever "traveled" in anybodies' circle.

Thats' what some folks just can't comprehend NO ONE told her anything PRO of CON about wedding rings.

I know that it's hard for folks (not necessarily speaking of you) to undersatnd that there really are folks that get convictions from God.

OK, brother, it was just a thought on my part.

well, my wife didnt flirt before or after getting a ring. she did complain that men asked her on dates when she didnt have one, and now says that does not happen.

Flirtation isnt the deal anyway. being a sign that she is a married lady is.

Ferd, I don't mean to be argumentative....I'm just telling you that for me, I don't need a wedding ring to prove to myself or anyone else that I'm married...If you and your wife do, that's your business - but please don't condemn me for NOT wearing one. :-)

What makes it jewelry? Is it the gold and gems? So what if some lady wears a cheap 5 dollar pair of plastic ear rings from Walmart? She going to hell?
don't yell at me!!

Hey if someone has a God given conviction don't change.
If the Holy Ghost tells you not to do something then I wouldn't do it.
But to make something a matter of salvation I'd have to really study the word before I can say something is salvational.
I like to have chapter and verse and make sure I can back something up with plenty of Bible before I teach it.
OP I love you and I appreciate your place in The Body of Christ.

I couldn't care less if you don't wear a ring.

I choose to wear one so that I don't get unwanted male attention.

Bro.Ferd is a good brother and I think he wouldn't condemn you for your convictions.
If you have a conviction stay with it.
