Strange as it may seem the use of a wedding ring by men was not common
until recently. While women have worn wedding rings for years, men
have not. The use of rings as a symbol of eternal love preserved in
marriage can be traced back thousands of years. But not so much for
men.
until recently. While women have worn wedding rings for years, men
have not. The use of rings as a symbol of eternal love preserved in
marriage can be traced back thousands of years. But not so much for
men.
It was, in fact, during the Second World War that the use of wedding
rings by men became more common. It became the custom for US soldiers
going to war to publicize their marital status by the wearing a
wedding ring.
Men’s wedding rings have become progressively more common since that
time. Today it is probably as common for a newly married man to wear a
ring as not. This may be due to several factors. The modern man may
consider it his duty to choose to make the same public marital
statement as his wife will. And his wife may well consider it a
condition of the marriage that he does so. After all, in these days of
equality, if she is prepared to make a statement then should he not do
so as well?
