  • Re: Do you wear your wedding band?

    I'm an auto mechanic. I don't wear rings, watches or anything except clothes.&nbsp; However outside of my work I do try to remember to put my ring on. But only on weekends.&nbsp; We've been married almost 31 years.&nbsp; I couldn't act single if I had to.

    Love is serving and not expecting anything in return. Love is sacrifice. Love is holding your tongue until you have thought out what you were going to say. Be quick to listen and slow to speak.
