"Wedding-Ring"

In the poem "Wedding-Ring," it seems to be a sad story about a marriage slowly falling apart. In the first part of the poem, it says "My wedding-ring lies in a basket as if at the bottom of a well."
It seems that this poem is saying that the marriage is slowly falling apart. It seems that although it is falling apart vows were made that can't be broken.
I think that this is why marriage is such a huge life-changing decision. Some people don't think that it's a big deal at all and would get married 5 times as if it meant nothing. This is why I think in our generation today young adults are rushing to get married and not taking the time and realizing how serious of a decision it is deciding to share your life with another.
My question is, what is the rush? Why get married at such a young age? No one is going anywhere. Relationships are very difficult and they take a lot of time and work. Taking the time and putting that time into a relationship can help in the long run so that no one's wedding rings will be "lying in the bottom of a basket." They will be on one another's hands and remain happy although they might go through good and bad times, they will always wear their rings together!
