A Wedding Ring

    In Thornton Wilder's play The Skin of Our Teeth, the character  Mrs. Antrobus says to her husband, "I didn't marry you because you were perfect, I married you because you gave me a promise."   She takes off her ring and looks at it.  "That promise made up for your faults and the promise I gave you made up for mine.  Two imperfect people got married, and it was the promise that made the marriage.

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." (Col 3:18 KJV)
