Rings of Mara Question

So my wife and I played at release, I have the Imperial Edition and she does not. We did the Rings of Mara thing at that time, but she later quit playing the game while I continued playing. I deleted the original character I did the ritual of mara with, but we both still have the rings because I stored it in my bank. She also wants to make a new character, and I want to make a new character to play with her. So the question becomes...if we equip the rings of mara on our new characters, do we still get the bonus? Or is that bonus forever lost because we aren't playing on the same characters we did the ritual on?
