[quote=Anonymous]My best buddy in law school got married when she was 19, and her husband was in the NAVY. He got her a $500 diamond ring before he left on deployment. That was almost 25 years ago and they have the best marriage I've ever seen. Three kids, very successful careers, very happy individuals. She is very sentimental about that ring, and has never "traded up. My brother, on the other hand, gets huge rings for his fiancees (yes, plural). The last one cost $25,000. I give this relationship a year tops. Not that there is a correlation between the larger the ring, the crappier the marriage. But "if" two people tend to focus highly on the superficial aspects of marriage (like a ring), they often fail to focus on the marriage itself. Short version: The spouse is way more important than the ring.[/quote]
