Rings can become loose over time due to everyday wear and tear. It is important to have them checked and resized if necessary, in order to ensure that they still fit properly. This will help to prevent them from slipping off and being lost.
Irene is fine but at the end of the day if there’s no God that ring will never mean nothing the first two are okay the third I don’t know
The quote about the three rings of marriage can not be attributed to Woody Allen. Lou Costello, in his usual habit of faltering when speaking his mind, told Marjorie Main’s character in The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap (1947) why marriage is like a three-ring circus. Given that Woody Allen was born in 1935 – I hardly believe he came up with this bit at the tender age of 12.
I have read that the concept originates with Greek writer Aeschylus (c. 525 or 524 to 456 BC). However, I have not been able to find any documentation to corroborate the information.
Marrige is that kind of relation which always made by God. its not painful.
Suffering if they loss understanding I think.
Luckily, the rings are detachable. Not indicated and not a good solution for the first two rings, but for the third, it worth trying.
You have a third ring, its the eternity ring.
I was not marrying but I wish I find another part of me some day and I think marriage is sacrifice for each other for life continue and for children regular life
Marriage makes people mature, although I always see the empty half of the glass!!
Marriage is like a closed watermelon , may be red or …………………… .
Marriage is like the activities which consistantly appeals to curious mind of the people, and eager to experience it though Experience is a teacher which slap first and teach latter.
I think in the nosmal situation , the first and second is right for every couple , but the third I do not think we should believe it, … Let’s living without third thing hahaha
I must say that Woody Allen really has a good sense of humour when he played with the word “ring” . Maybe he was thinking about his own experience when he said this and i completely agree with him. lol
first two rings are compulsroy in marriage, but third one is upto both persone that how they understand to each other
