The ring is a tangible indicator of that.
Also, getting married always changes the nature of the relationship. Just not necessarily negatively. Sometimes it can cement a bond even further.

This is too true. People who get married often think of prenuptial agreements, liquidation of property upon divorce, etcetera. This makes the idea of marriage far from romantic. The ring, then, becomes a symbol for being tied/weighed down instead of being bound in love and companionship.
