Wedding rings ~

Ever wonder why the wedding ring goes on the 4th finger?

The Chinese have given a beautiful and very convincing theory as to why. As the story goes...

Look at your left hand, the hand that your wedding ring goes on, and do you see your thumb? Well the thumb represents your parents. Now your index finger, or your first finger, represents your siblings. The middle finger, or third finger, represents yourself. The fourth finger represents your life partner. And your pinkie is to represent the children you will some day have.

Now, place both of your hands together and bend your middle fingers together, leaving the other fingers touching.

 

When your hands are as such do this:

Pull your thumbs apart. Your thumbs will open because you and your parents are not destined to be together forever. You will move on and have a family of your own. Now put your thumbs back together.

Repeat the same motion with your index fingers. Of course your index fingers will also separate because you are also not destined to be with your siblings for the rest of your life. They will move on and have families of their own. Now put them back together.

Now separate your pinkies. Of course these will also separate because your children will not be with you forever. They will grow up to have lives and families of their own as well. Now put them back together.

Now for your "ring" finger. Try separating them as you did with the other. Can't do it can you? That is because your life partner is the one to be with you for the rest of your life.
