This is why The Wedding Ring Is worn On The Fourth Finger
The Chinese give a beautiful explanation to this.
The thumb represents your parents. The index finger represents
your siblings. The middle finger represents yourself. The
ring finger represents your life partner. The little
finger/pinky represents your children. Hold your hands
together like the picture. Join your middle fingers
back-to-back, and... the remaining fingers tip-to-tip. Now,
try to separate your thumbs. They will separate because your
parents are not destined to live with you forever. Rejoin your
thumbs and separate your index fingers. They will separate because
your siblings will have their own families and lead their own
lives. Rejoin your index fingers and separate your
little fingers/pinkies. They will separate because your children
will grow up, get married, and settle down. Rejoin your little
fingers/pinkies and try to separate your ring finger. They will not be
able to separate because your life partner is meant to be with you
throughout your entire life, through thick and thin.
