It has been said, “diamonds are a girls best friend.” So naturally a woman’s probably going to want one when getting engaged.
A diamond ring has become a staple among what is offered when proposing in marriage. Yet is it superficial of a woman to reject a man’s engagement, if he offers something other than a diamond? This is a sensitive subject because many women feel passionate about marriage and the engagement process. This subject recently came up as a topic circulating on social media. Which begs the question, is it superficial to demand a diamond engagement ring. In this post a particular woman, who will remain nameless posted the following…
“Men need to stop disrespecting women and asking them to marry them with a 1 carat diamond ring. If you can’t afford a ring 3 carat or better you can’t afford a wife. It’s bigger than being materialistic. Rather, it’s about being able to see with your third eye. It is about being able to read in between the lines that marriage is a business.
Whether y’all like it or not, Disney messed peoples heads up with, “happily ever after”. You cannot start a business without some type of financial backing! What can we do for each other??? If you don’t have enough money to spend on an inanimate object such as a ring, you are not ready to invest in a business (i.e. marriage). Go back to the drawing board.”

Superficial is defined as, one lacking the ability to show depth of character or understanding.
This post has drawn many responses as it says a lot! Even while reading it, it may have struck a cord within you. Although there are many things we could talk about when reading her post, one subject that pops up is the thought of being superficial, and whether or not an attitude of demanding a diamond shows a lack of character or understanding?
The emphasis of our topic today centers around the word “demand.” There’s nothing wrong with a woman wanting a diamond ring, or even asking for one. The question that we’re asking is, is it superficial to rejects one’s engagement if the ring is not a diamond. In this podcast episode we have fun discussing different points of this post, but then we also take a serious look at what is superficial, and when we are possibly lacking depth in our approach to relationships.
Hosted by Pastor Brian Wallace and Keonte McDonald.
