 Promise Ring Meaning
 
 
 Promise rings are thought to signify commitment and love for eternity as do engagement rings. A promise ring is a declaration of love for the loved one in your life. It is also an indication of the possibility for love and life with a spouse.
 
 
 Promise rings inform people who aren't in the know that a relationship is real and isn't a fling or puppy love. In reality, couples might not be interested in marriage, but they can exchange promise rings.
 
 
 They also symbolize the commitment a couple will one day be able to be legally married. It is often thought of as a placeholder ring, promise rings often serve as a keepsake for couples who aren't in the position to become engaged because of geographic distance, or they simply aren't ready to commit because there are other things they'd like to get done first.
 
 
 Both rings represent the ongoing of a relationship however they are not the same. Engagement rings signify the commitment of a couple. While promise rings signify their intention to be married and legally committed. This is why the engagement ring is often seen as the next stage in an engagement. The promise ring is almost seen as the first step.
