"So here&amp;#x27;s my wedding ring kind-of confession: every night, after I wash my face and brush my teeth, my wedding and engagement rings come off. I put them in a safe place (meaning: where they will not be eaten by toddlers or fall down the drain) and head to bed. But there are plenty of people who would object to one part of my routine.... I&amp;#x27;ve always been pretty okay with the idea that removing my wedding ring was an acceptable thing. I mean, I don&amp;#x27;t think that I&amp;#x27;m, like, removing my husband whenever I take it off--for me, it&amp;#x27;s about sleeping comfortably at night (sleep-jewelry makes me twitchy). But there are a lot of people who think that--once they&amp;#x27;re on--wedding rings should never come off. Kirk Cameron (any other &amp;quot;Growing Pains&amp;quot; fans here? Oh yeah!) and his wife are apparently so ardently anti-wedding-ring-takeoff that they won&amp;#x27;t do it even when their acting roles require them to appear single. Instead, makeup artists cover the rings with skin-colored putty. And some people refuse to remove them even if it means the possibility of injury--like Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Most football players take off their rings pre-game in order to cut down on something called &amp;quot;degloving&amp;quot;--basically, what might happen if the ring managed to tear away a section of skin (eeks!). So I can completely understand and respect the reasons for non-removal. But I want to know what you think... Is it okay to take your wedding ring off, once it&amp;#x27;s on?
