I’ve got an acquaintance who is black, married and has a kid. We were talking family time day and I asked why he doesn’t wear a ring? He said they don’t need a symbol to shoe their commitment.
I told him that he needed one to show other black men what that commitment is.
He liked that idea.

Good point. My wife and I haven’t worn wedding rings for almost 40 yrs. She had been taking them off when washing dishes, but after the firstborn came she didn’t want to scatch the baby’s skin. Not long after being married I told her how a classmate lost his ring finger when he jumped off a moving hayrack. A protruding nail head caught it just right. Shocked by the story, my wife told me to stop wearing it when working. Pretty soon we were forgetting to wear them at all. (We celebrated our 44th anniversary last friday, and didn’t have rings on. Lol)
