The reason why people don’t see the ring as important, like they used to, is because they don’t see the marriage promises as important as they used to.
The only acceptable reason, in my mind, to remove the ring is either job or hobby related where injury could be the result or if you’re doing something like weight-training or martial arts or something similar.
At least in my books.
People don't see their vows as important because they don't see their elected officials taking their oaths of office as important.
Anything goes, now. Say what you need to, now, to get what you want, now.
