why do women wear marriage ring on left hand?

It is said that the vein on the ring finger of the left hand reaches the heart directly and because the wedding ring is a symbol of true love it is worn in that finger.

The choice of finger relates to traditions purportedly dating to classical times, from an early usage reportedly referring to the fourth finger of the left hand as containing the vena amoris or "vein of love".  At least in part due to this tradition, it became acceptable to wear the wedding ring on this finger. By wearing rings on the fourth finger of their left hands, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other. This has now become a matter of tradition and etiquette.

The wedding ring goes on first then the engagement ring as tadition goes. The weddingring has more meaningful significance.

That's a damn good question. I'm married and ALWAYS wear my ring. I have friends who are married, but don't wear theirs. I've asked and always get some limp dick excuse about not wanting to ruin it or they don't like wearing jewelry (but they wear other rings and bracelets).\n\nDoesn't make sense to me either!

In some countries that's where they place an engagement ring. IE the middle finger

Because most people are right handed and your right hand is more away from you heart so as to let your brain make your decision, not your heart.May God bless......

I,too, am married and have problems with wearing my rings but not for reasons people may think. Both my wedding ring and engagement ring are way too big even though I had them resized recently. When I had them resized, they fit for approximately two weeks and then once again they were falling off my fingers. When my husband first discovered I had this problem, he went out and bought me a necklace that matched the color of my rings and I were my rings around my neck everywhere I go. My husband never really punished me for not wearing them; however he did tease me until he thought of buying me a necklace. If you had a good reason for not wearing your rings then your husband had NO RIGHT TO PUNISH YOU!!!! As for some of these people giving you answers, they are being way to narrow-minded and judgmental; and if you ask me those poeple are probably not even married. People need to be a little more consideratewhen they are responding to other peoples' questions.

I believe that a promise ring is more for younger people to give as a lot of promises get broken.  An engagement ring is presented when you ask a woman if she will accept your hand in marriage.

The wedding band goes on your left ring finger...closest to your heart. The engagement ring goes outside of the wedding band.

wedding first then engagement - when you attend your wedding you are to remove your engagement ring and place it on your right hand so that the wedding band can be put on. Then the engagement ring will be put on after the wedding band. This keeps the wedding band closest to your heart.

I m not left handed but my son will b and my great grandmother and some friends are. Right handed is considered the "norm" but what is Normal. Friends used to joke that us right handed people write backwards anyway (pay attention to the direction of the writing, its funny). \n\nI order from Schwans but i hab the whole ice cream thing a few years back at COlonial mall in Macon, GA....they were called Ice Cream Bites (shaped like nerds but melt like ice cream) i have the Z-bops on back order.\n\nAs far as teh engagement thing, u can if u want however if u need to show the world that u are engage and taken, sounds like u like attention. Hell, anyone can buy a ring and show it off. But if this is something sincere and is a part of ur plans...then get engage and get married after college and i wish u the best of luck.

Engagement and wedding rings are worn on the right hand in Poland.\n\nIf in doubt just ask. What's the worse she can do?

Yes, it is a cultural thing...and a religious thing...and a personal choice thing...\nMost of those that are of Judeo/Christian thought wear our rings on the left hand...to some cultures the left hand is the "dirty" hand, to others the left hand is the "evil" hand...\nSo it just depends on who you are, where you are, and what you believe.
