Doesn't sound like you're as convincing as you think...At least not the three times you admit!!!!

LOL! This came up prior to my first marriage...she was an adopted child, and VERY attached to her maiden name....I refused to hyphenate, but would have taken HER name in a heartbeat.
SHE chose to go the more traditional route, (and took MY name) but it DOES happen...more every day.

Knew a guy who did this. Was marrying a woman who already had children, wanted one family name and didn't want the kids to have to change their name, or something like that. Not a big deal as far as I could see...

Why wasn't this taken care of in the 60s revolution?
I have often wondered where this tradition came from & why. I'm sure it has to do with the wife being submissive to her husband or something like that before women had equal rights.
Personally, I think it is a choice between husband & wife. My wife kept her maiden name for a year or more at my request. But it became a hassle for her so she changed it to my name.
What makes it harder for a man to change his name over a women changing hers.
I don't own my wife, she is free to do & be what she wants. I always love it when I hear some guy pissed of at other guy because he stole his GF or wife. Yet when you see them together the guy that stole her doesn't have her chained or handcuffed. She is going with this guy freely.

I read that it's certainly not a religious thing and I'm not sure how the tradition came about. It may be different cultures do different things.
I am curious, what is your last name?
