Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful explanation .....
try this...
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 children
Firstly
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 life long
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 fingers 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 fingers
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!!
aww...
so sweet...
