Engagement Rings for a Lifetime Together
It's a big investment to buy engagement rings and commit to a life together, but what happens if things turn sour?
Sales of engagement rings in America and the UK are increasing despite the credit crunch and looming recession. It seems we are in love with the idea of getting married. In fact, marriage is very much still the sought after happy ever ending many of us seek. Wearing engagement rings is a huge commitment, but one we are clearly willing and happy to seek out. But as the statistics show, not everyone who slips on engagement rings will end up happily ever after.
Engagement rings – Through Thick and Thin
Anybody who is thinking about wearing engagement rings should consider carefully the future ahead. Choosing marriage because you feel pressured can be disastrous. Marriage is after all a huge commitment, which explains the longevity and success of the marriage counselling charity, Relate. Wearing engagement rings and wedding rings is more than just being able to flash a beautiful diamond – it's a huge investment and responsibility.
Relationship Therapy and Marriage Guidance
Relate is now 70 years old founded by Doctor Herbert Gray, a Presbyterian minister who wrote a book in the twenties, Men Women and God. His book looked beyond the romance of swapping engagement rings and probed the issues of sex, love and married life as a Christian. His book attracted lots of attention. Couples who had happily worn their engagement rings were finding married life wasn't as perfect as they had hoped. They turned to Doctor Gray for advice, and the reactions to his book led him to start what is now known as Relate. The fact his book was reprinted in the 1980s shows how the issues raised then are still very much alive today – it sold a million copies.
Engagement Rings and Marriage Vows
The function of Relate has changed over the years into the counselling service it's known to be today, moving from basic advice to offering more open minded sexual therapy. The popularity of couples opting for engagement rings and entering the commitment of marriage is certainly not waning. But, as the endurance of Relate proves, it doesn't mean marriage is not without its problems. And today, you don't have to be wearing engagement rings or wedding rings to use Relate – they help single people too overcome difficult relationships for example.
