Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger? There is a beautiful and convincing explanation .....
Thumb represents your
Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your
Siblings
Middle finger represents
your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your
Life Partner &
the Last (Little) finger represents
your childrenFirstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (As shown in the figure below):
Now, try to separate your
thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your
Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index finger and separate your
Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little finger, and try to separate your
Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!
Please try this out............. ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?
