It seems as though whenever people see diamond wedding rings on your finger and figure out you are recently married, they want to offer you some marital advice. Whether this advice is welcomed or not, people tend to ignore that and chime in anyway, thinking that just because they are married they have it all figured out. The sad and scary truth is that the people who usually offer this advice do not have the best relationships themselves. Maybe they feel as though by trying to help another married couple, they will in turn help their own marriage. Who knows?
Exchanging diamond wedding rings at your wedding ceremony is the most sacred and special part of your big day. These wedding rings are the only outward display of your marriage. Of course, when you are around other people they will figure out that you are married, but when they see your rings they will know for sure. Most people take these rings very seriously and wear them at all times. Women certainly take these rings very seriously because they often match their engagement rings and should be worn together. I personally hate seeing couples I know are married, yet one (usually the man) doesn’t wear his ring. Although some men cannot wear their rings at work because it is a hazard, they should still get into the habit of putting it back on when they get done at work!
As far as people offering you unwanted advice just because they see your diamond wedding rings, they probably tell you something like “never go to bed angry” or “always be 100% honest with your partner.” These pieces of advice aren’t the worst we have ever heard, but they can still be uncalled for when you tell someone you have just gotten married. It is not a stranger’s place to tell you how your marriage should work. Your marriage is probably a lot different than theirs. Since no two marriages are the same, that would be like giving two completely different body structures the same workout routine and diet and expecting the same results. That just will not happen.
At the end of the day, I think your marriage to your spouse should be a team effort. I know that sounds cliche, but this is the person who will be by your side until the cows come home! If there are small issues on the rise before you get married, resolve them immediately, because once you put on those diamond wedding rings, little problems just get bigger.
