Men's Engagement Rings

Men’s engagement rings gained much popularity after the rise of double ring ceremonies, during World War 2. Today, men’s engagement rings are the hottest trend among new couples. These exquisite rings are worn as a token of devotion and commitment.

Men’s engagement rings symbolize their forthcoming marriage. Often, men’s engagement rings are worn on the left ring finger, until the wedding day. Some men wear engagement rings even after marriage.

Men’s engagement rings chosen must match the taste and style of the person wearing them. They need to be more durable, light, and sturdy than women’s engagement rings. Men’s engagement rings are available in white or yellow gold, silver, platinum, or titanium. Platinum and titanium are commonly used, as these metals are highly durable and scratch free. The main disadvantage of silver men’s engagement rings is that they tarnish easily.

A combination of metals can also be used in men’s engagement rings. A two-tone men’s engagement ring is the one that combines two types of gold (mostly, yellow and white gold) whereas a three-tone men’s engagement ring has a fabulous blend of three gold types (yellow, white and rose gold). Different metal alloys can also be used to make intricate patterns on men’s engagement rings. Plain solid bands, milgrain, hammered, and hand-braided styles are commonly used in men’s engagement rings.

Even though simple and plain engagement rings look more masculine, some men’s engagement rings feature colored gemstones and diamonds. Textured rings are also of great demand. Men’s wedding sets come with stunning men’s engagement rings and wedding rings. These rings are single metal bands, which can be soldered and worn together after marriage. Moreover, a pair of matching men’s and women’s engagement rings is a perfect choice.

Marriage Help Just For Men

During my live practice as a mediator, I focused on bringing marriages back together instead of helping people get a divorce. Approximately 50% of the calls I received were from men. Interestingly, men seemed to be more desperate, and at the same time resigned to the reality that their marriage may end. There were two major groups of men who called. One group of men had cheated on their wives and their wives had found out. The other group of men discovered their wives were having an affair. There was also a smaller group of men who had just realized their marriage was falling apart because their wife told them they were going to get a lawyer and file for a divorce.

The situations where a wife was having an affair were very difficult. I only saw couples who both wanted the relationship back. Because a woman comes from the heart when she has an affair, it is often too late for her to give her man a second chance. When small children are involved I sometimes reached the extra mile, sometimes successfully.

Men who think we can understand the mind of a woman are deluding themselves. I am not trying to be funny, just a practical. But men, you don't need to understand them in order to love them and express your love and appreciation. It might be said the needs of a woman are simple and communicating those responses that a woman needs is also a simple. But men forget how they behaved when they courted. They forget to treasure the greatest gift in their lives. They forget to express love and appreciation continually. They forget to remember how sweet their life is when they treat their woman the only way that works. Always remember to tell your wife, "I love you."
