Why We Wear The Wedding Ring On The Fourth Finger

April 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Have you ever wondered why its on the fourth finger and not others?  Recently I came across this mystical, beautiful explanation.

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese…..

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back.
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip
(As shown in the figure below)

Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents Yourself
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your Children

Now, try to separate your Thumbs (representing the parents)
–> They will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you forever, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)
–> They will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)
–> These will open too, because your children also will get married and settle down with their own families some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT!
–> BECAUSE Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

You can try this out………….
ISN’T THIS A BEAUTIFUL THEORY?

Hope you like it! :)
