A metaphor based on an email received relating to life and marriage.

1. With this ring I thee wed.

2. Why is the ring finger so sacred in marriage? ? Ever wondered?

4. Let’s play a game. Simon said, move apart your… … thumbs … index fingers … little fingers Can you do that?

5. You are not the only one. We could all move apart our… … thumbs. … index fingers. … little fingers.

6. But what about the ring fingers ? Can you move them apart ?

7. Till death do us part. That is how a marriage should be. The ring fingers represent a couple in a marriage. The thumbs represent parents who they will leave one day. The index fingers represent their siblings. They too will move to start their own family. How about the little fingers ?

8. Just as you do. The little fingers in your life will leave you one day.

9. It will start with... … a ring on that finger.
