Was just wondering what does a ring (engagement or other) mean to you and your partner. Is there any special significance in it both generally or personally.
Thanks

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My fiance and I said we were "unofficially engaged" even before there was a ring. So I would not say a ring is necessary for engagement or even marriage.
However, I would also say a ring means a whole lot to me... as it is a public symbol of commitment and the promises made. Anyone would be able to see the ring on my left hand and say, "She's taken." Because of this reasoning (and 'cause it's fun
), my fiance also has a ring (a silver band w/gold along one of the edges.. so it's not a girly ring, haha).
Plus, I readily admit I am obsessed with jewelry and all things sparkly

If I could have said it better I would have.

Have to agree... that's all it means.

well in a day where there isn't a clear sign of being tied to someone on the outside, i think the ring represents the dedication of the two involved in the commitment. the ring symbolize the choice to bind together in vows for life. pretty powerful statement there. taken too lightly by many!
there is no need for a ring. but i like the meaning of it. heck, it could be a piece of string and it would mean the same thing to me.
my SO and i plan on exchanging rings at our engagement so it's not just me that has one...
