CTR Ring: What It Means and Why Latter-day Saints Are Wearing It as a Wedding Band

8MM CTR Dome Brushed Gray Tungsten Mens Wedding Rings

For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the CTR shield is one of the most recognizable and beloved symbols of faith. Three simple letters — Choose the Right — that carry a lifetime of meaning. And for the Latter-day Saint man who wants his wedding band to reflect his deepest values, the CTR Tungsten Wedding Band is a powerful and personal choice.

What Does CTR Mean?

CTR stands for "Choose the Right" — a phrase that has been central to LDS youth programs since the 1970s. The CTR shield is given to children as a reminder to make righteous choices in every aspect of their lives.

But the message of CTR isn't just for children. For adult members of the Church, it remains a daily reminder of the principles they've committed to live by:

  • Integrity — doing what's right even when no one is watching
  • Faith — trusting in God's plan and living according to His teachings
  • Righteousness — choosing actions that align with one's values and covenants
  • Commitment — the same commitment that defines a temple marriage

Why a CTR Wedding Band Is Deeply Meaningful

For a Latter-day Saint man, wearing a CTR ring as his wedding band connects two of the most sacred commitments of his life — his covenant with God and his covenant with his spouse. It's a daily reminder that his marriage is built on the same foundation as his faith: choosing what's right, every single day.

It's also a meaningful gift — from a spouse who wants to honor her husband's faith, or from parents celebrating a son's temple marriage.
