I see so many commercials referencing large beautiful diamonds and how one needs to pay a predetermined amount of money for an engagement ring in order to follow some prewritten law of etiquette. I see so many women complain that their significant others did not spend a lot on their ring or that it’s to small and the list goes on and on. I wonder why so much value is put on such a inadequate object and just because a person cannot afford or maybe they just don’t want to waste money on a large object they are talked about and sometimes even punished in some way. Sad that there are so many out there who put strings on a relationship right from the get go!

So I ask those I counsel why? Why do so many need to have this item and come on ladies there are other beautiful gems out there to choose from, but it seems that the answer I keep getting from most of the women is, “ It’s to show how much he loves me” “OH PLEASE” if he didn’t love you he wouldn’t have asked, Right! So ladies start focusing on what is important in a relationship and stop putting pressure on the man who loves you.

Now as I said it’s not all women who seem to do this ritual, but those who still practice this need to step back and realize that the correct tradition was to give a gift of love and uniqueness. Not to out do your friends. So in this I say in today’s world lets focus on the important items, focus on your significant other giving you something from the heart, something you know he spent time thinking about and no matter how big or how small. Remember it’s a symbol of love, a circle, no beginning no end, so keep it string free and it to shall last a lifetime.
