With This Ring (originally known as Happily Ever After) was a prime time panel show aired by the DuMont Television Network on Sundays from January 21, 1951, to March 11, 1951.

The show featured engaged white, opposite-sex couples discussing marriage and marital problems. The show was initially hosted by Bill Slater, but the show quickly changed hosts to Martin Gabel, then left the air.[1] Beatrice Straight appeared on at least one episode.[2]

This show is not related in any way to a 15-minute syndicated program of the same name that aired weekly (usually on Sundays) on local stations throughout the U.S. for about 25 years beginning in the early 1970s. The latter program was a Roman Catholic-produced show concerning the church's doctrinal and moral positions on marriage and family life, and was produced at WJBK-TV in Detroit.
