Wedding Ring Finger

Ever wonder why we wear a wedding band on our 4th or ring finger? There’s a few explanations as to why but here’s one that I found particularly cute.

Place your hands, palms facing each other, with your middle fingers bent and together and your remaining finger tips toughing each other as in the video below



Your thumbs represent your parents.
Your second or index fingers represent your siblings.
Your middle fingers represent your Self.
Your fourth or ring fingers represent your life partner.
Your last or little fingers represent your children.

With your hands together just like in the image, try and separate your thumbs.

Your thumbs will open because your parents are not destined to live with you all your life and will have to leave you sooner or later.

Place your thumbs back together and try and separate just your index fingers.

Your index fingers, representing your siblings, will separate because your brothers and sisters will grow to have their own family and will need to lead separate lives.

Place your index fingers back together and try and separate your little fingers representing your children. They too will separate because your children will grow, get married and settle down with their own families someday.

Place your little fingers back together and try and separate just your ring fingers.

You can’t do it can you? Your ring fingers represent husband and wife, life partners that are to stay together through thick and thin.
