The emblem of your commitment to one other is the wedding band. Since the Middle Ages, when the groom would give the bride and her family a costly ring as a symbol of his dedication to the relationship and his vow to never leave it, wedding rings have been used as emblems of devotion. Being open about being in a committed relationship and not being scared to flaunt it is demonstrated by always having the ring on. The ring reminds you commitment to your partner.
