The symbol of ring


Have you tried roaming around in a certain Island Resort, shopping malls, and other romantic places? Have you noticed couples showing their sweet gestures? Then looking at them, you will say, "Lord, when will I meet my better half?" (smiling, that's my favorite line, haha). Then you will start dreaming of your Mr. and Ms. Right to be.

As my experience here in Maldives as Resort Photographer, I met different couples from Asia, America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. 

They disclosed about their love-story, how they met, reaction during the proposal or engagement period and a lot more. 
I want to share this blog to all readers whether you are married or still single (like me). Upon browsing on the internet, I read this article and summarized it according to my understanding. 

Ring symbolizes infinity.  Couples bind their love with a ring. According to " Symbolism of rings", here are things to be considered: 
  1. A ring is an unbroken circle, which many cultures understand as representative of eternity. The ring used in applications to signify something that is never-ending. It is a reminder and an outward symbol to others of that eternal commitment.
  2. Realize the purpose of the ring in religion. When a ring is shown in religious context, it signifies the eternalness and the perfection of God. Like the ring, God has no beginning and no end.
  3. The ring as a symbol of wholeness or completeness. 
  4. Rings have come to be source of unity for many people. Marriage and the sharing of rings in that adventure was probably the beginning of groups of people sharing a commonality bonding together with a ring. People wear rings to join others in decisions that have been made, like with a abstinence ring. People wear rings to join others through a journey that has been made. By wearing it, they are unified in the same cause. (http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-the-Symbolism-of-Rings)

Life as a single person offers many rewards, including learning how to build a healthy relationship with yourself. However, if you’re ready to share your life with someone and want to build a lasting, worthwhile relationship, life as a single person can also be very frustrating.
Finding the right romantic partner is often a difficult journey, for several reasons. Perhaps you grew up in a household where there was no role model of a solid, healthy relationship and you doubt that such a thing even exists. Or maybe your dating history consists only of short, abrupt relationships where you or your partner gets bored too soon, and you don't know how to make a relationship last. You could be attracted to the wrong type of person or making the same bad choices, due to an unresolved issue from your past. It's also possible you're not putting yourself in the best environments to meet the right person, or that when you do, you don't feel confident enough to approach someone. Whatever the case may be, it's important to believe that a healthy romantic relationship for you exists in the future. (http://helpguide.org/mental/how_to_dating_find_love.htm)
