Personally, I think he should wear it. To me, the ring is more than a symbol of love. It’s a outword symbol of your commitment an union. It’s the equivalent of wearing or displaying any religious symbol, up to, and holding sacred any physical object. People pack things for, “good luck,” yet won’t wear a ring? You see, to me marriage is a Sacrament. The ring is your outword sign that you have taken the Sacrament. Continued wearing of the ring is a demonstration of your commitment to the Sacrament, no matter what the times think, or what some one else wants. Not wearing one to me is saying, “I’m a free agent. I won’t hold to any belief system. I am not accountable to any thing.” But hey, if your marriage is nothing more than a legal union, and you don’t feel much bound to your mate, then by all means, knock yourself out.
As for the women’s lib bit, so what? What does women’s lib have to do with a symbol or unity, or a visible shwoing of a commitment to some thing greater than you? To me, when I hear this about wedding commitments all I hear is some one complaining about peeing in their own Cheerios. Wearing a ring near as I can tell has nothing to do with Femi-Nazi’s. The way I see it, the FN’s don’t want to way a ring either, and then blame men for the, “demand.” I can just hear, “It’s men’s want to shackle us again!” This time around it’s just a dude that happens to be the person in question.
I guess it’s the question of what are you willing to do to commit do some one else? What are you willing to sacrifice to show unity with some one else? What does a symbol for a Sacrament, your vows, mean to you? What would you give up to support a marriage?
