Why Wedding Ring Worn on the Fourth Finger

When you get married you will be attending a seminar with your partner so that you will have background on what you are going through. In the seminar, they will also tell you why you should wear the wedding ring on the fourth finger. You might be thinking, of course it should be placed on the fourth finger that’s why it is called ring finger. But before they named the fourth finger as ring finger, our ancestors used to believe that there is a vein ran directly from your fourth finger to your heart. As we all know today that all veins are connected to your heart. So it does not really make sense, but it is now become our tradition to wear the ring on that finger.

Another question is, should it on the right hand or left hand? In Western culture they used to wear it on left because our heart is on the left side and they considered the left hand to be the closest to the heart. It will now depends on your culture or tradition whether you wear it on your left hand or right hand.

In German, they used to wear it on the left hand if they are still engage and move it to the right when they get married. Here in Philippines we are advised to wear the wedding ring on the right hand.

There is another reason though why the wedding ring should be placed on the 4th finger. Let’s try to demonstrate and do the same thing with your hand on the picture below.



These are the equivalents of your fingers:

Left Hand

Thumb – is your Parents.
Inner/Point Finger – is your Friends.
Little Finger – is your Siblings.
Ring Finger – is your Partner (Wife/Husband).

All your right hand fingers is YOU and your connections with them.

Try to separate your thumb fingers (your Parents). By the time you will grow up and have your own family you will be separated with your parents.

Separate your inner/point finger (your Friends). Your friends will always be there for you, but you can always be separated when you have your own priorities.

Then, separate your little finger (your Siblings or Sons and Daughters). Just like what you did, by the time they will grow up and have their own family, they will be separated from you.

Now, separate your ring finger (your Partner or Wife/Husband). Yes, you cannot separate your partner with you. In times of troubles and difficulties the first who will approach you is your Partner. And you will never be separated forever if the root is still live in you. And that root is LOVE.
