Pls follow the below step, really good make this a miracle. (This is from a Chinese Excerpt)

Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back. Secondly, the rest 4 fingers tips to tips. Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 finger but only 1 pair can split.

Try to open your thumb, the thumb represent parents, it can be open cause all human does go thru sick and dead. Which is our parents will leave us one day

Please close up your thumb, then open your second finger,the finger represent brothers and sisters, they do have their own family which is too they will leave us too.

Now close up your second finger, open up your little finger, this represent your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got they own living to live.

Nevertheless, close up your little finer, try to open your fourth finger which we put our wedding ring, you will be surprise to find that it cannot be open at all. Because it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attach to each other.

So if everyone wears the ring on the 4th finger there wouldn't be any divorce or for all the divorces that happened those people did not wear the ring on that finger....:)

While there is no single reason wedding rings are often worn on the fourth finger, much of the reasoning dates back to ancient beliefs and traditions. Sometimes this finger is referred to as the third finger in cases where the thumb is not considered to be a finger.

Tradition

In the United States, Canada, Japan, India and parts of Western Europe, the wedding band is traditionally worn by both men and women on the left hand's fourth finger, or ring finger.

Vena Amoris

An old myth says that there is a vein, called the vena amoris or vein of love, that goes from the left hand's fourth finger to the heart, making it symbolic of love.

Christian Symbolism

In medieval times, grooms in Christian weddings put a ring on each of his bride's middle three fingers on the left hand to represent the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The ring on the fourth finger remained on after the wedding was complete.

Chinese Philosophy

The Chinese believe that the thumb symbolizes the parents, the index finger represents brothers and sisters, the middle finger is the self, the ring finger is your mate and the pinky shows your children.

Variation

In some European cultures, a woman wears her wedding ring on the left hand before the wedding takes place, but then moves it to the right hand once she is officially married.

All other fingers have their uses..the ring finger is not of much use in anything, thus it wears the ring!!

Is worn on the THIRD finger on the left hand as it was thought that finger produced blood to the heart. So by wearing the ring on that finger - it would keep the love and blood flowing to the heart so the partnership survive.

Or something like that lol ;-/

I found it very touching... because it means a separation is impossible ...and whenever absolutely necessary, separation will always be painful -chopping one of them OMG!!!! O.o

Thanks..

I wasn't thinking of the thumb as a finger. because if it was a finger, then it would be called a finger and not a thumb, which it obviously is :o)
