That ring means he has a wife who honors and respects him, makes good on her promises to him, and makes sure he never regrets that vow he made. It means you'll put the kids to bed early tonight or give up some time with the girls so you can spend some extra moments with him. It means that even if you come home to a messy house, or kids in meltdown, or enough household chores to equal a second job, you'll take a moment to take his hand. You'll caress his ring, hug his neck, kiss his lips, and whisper in his ear that you are so glad to see him and you can't wait to admire all his best features and attractive qualities—later.

That wedding ring means you have confidence in his love and affection. It means hands-off to all the other women. It means that wedding ring is the first and last thing I notice about your husband! I have my hands full—my fingers entwined in my husband's strong and capable hand, brushing against those bulging forearms, resting my head against those broad shoulders that encircle me with a never-ending ring of love and adoration from that man whom I find most attractive!

Have you noticed how attractive your husband is lately? Have you complimented him? Those hidden qualities you don't see at first glance might be his most attractive features!

Shari finds Marc Popejoy's wedding band incredibly attractive, especially since it indicates their almost 30-year commitment to each other; you can read more about love and relationships on her blog, Won Without Words.

Your article is also very one sided. You make it sound like its a burden for him to be faithful with those wondering eyes and hidden desires, you praise him for not telling you about those possible sexual conquests that he's turned down and not told you about, and criminalized yourself for snuggling with your toddler in the morning while he's going to work or feeling the life BOTH of you created while he's sexually deprived. You put down women for being frazzled after spending the day with frustrating children. You really take disrespect for women and man praise to a new sick level. Its like you've been reading a 1950's book on how to be the perfect wifey. You're the perfect doormat. Remember, the door swings both ways. Men should be lucky we even bare their children , don't sleep with whomever we find attractive as much as we'd like to. We wash their nasty laundary. We do without when they feel too tired or too old to perform. Think twice sister.

Wedding rings mean nada. It is rather niave to thing a man has integrety because he sports a wedding ring. In my experience, those mean nothing.

I like the idea of your article and agree that fidelity is a critical trait, often ignored even by people who claim to be believers. Outside of that though, there are some pretty serious gender stereotypes going on in your article... that the man is always waiting with baited breath to 'get some' sex if the woman will just throw him a bone so to speak. He has 'bulging forearms and huge shoulders' (as a few of the commenters have already decried) etc. These kinds of stereotypes get perpetually perpetuated in the Christian community and it becomes old and frustrating! Fidelity? Awesome. Let's celebrate it! Gender stereotypes? Let's try to downplay them a little. Please!
