Is It an Engagement Without The Ring?

One might ask, “Is it an engagement without the ring?” Why not?? It’s my opinion, an engagement can be made without a ring…is there any set rule governing one? It’s a commitment between a man and a woman and it’s sealed with a commitment by those two people who feel they’re in love and plan to marry in the future. This definitely can be sealed without a ring.

Many times when two people fall in love they may be in college or have other commitments in their lives they must complete before they can afford to give the person an engagement ring. Many college students fall in love and cannot afford to give their love a ring but they want a commitment from their mate. The ring must wait until they have a self-supporting job and a job paying enough for them to earn money to afford to have a monthly payment for the ring or have the cash to pay for it.

Years ago, men did not have enough money to afford to give a woman a ring and the same thing should apply today. Yes, it would have been nice for the woman to get a ring but the vow the man and a woman took is as strong as if it a ring was been given. Two people can be in love and have plans to spend the rest of their lives with someone without making a commitment with a ring. In fact, many people who cannot afford an engagement ring marries with a wedding band only.

A ring is a symbol of the commitment made to each other. A ring does not represent a firm engagement anymore than two people’s vows. People may feel by receiving a ring that the engagement cannot be broken but this is totally wrong. It is the same with or without a ring…engagements are broken many times and sometimes it’s much better if you have not received a ring. A ring can cause lots of conflict if two people break up the engagement. A lot of men wants the ring back because in a lot of cases it’s not paid for and they may owe several thousand dollars on the ring. I don’t blame any man for wanting back the ring they gave to their love…if the engagement is broken, the ring should go back to the giver for many reasons.

When love melts the heart and kisses the soul, there surely doesn’t have to be a ring involved…it’s already secured its place. Ladies if your man asks you to be engaged before he gives you a ring…don’t turn him down…he’s serious. A ring can wait, and when you do get it, you’ll still feel the same love for your mate as you did without a ring.
