Well, that might be why so much is lost in your understanding. You refuse to give any historical context to what you are reading.

If you read the Bible, you will see that Jesus makes many references to a Jewish Marriage, the proposal process and the traditions he observed for the wedding day and for the marriage. He did this so we would be comforted and understand. We also need to get to know our Savior. He is a real man.

If you blow that off, and refuse to look at the context of His life- you are going to miss a great depth of his character and love for us.

The wedding ring is a very important part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ- and not at all pagan.

Matthew 22:1-14

#1, you apparently did not get my humor
#2, the Scripture you cite does not include any mention of a wedding ring.
