116. That makes no sense
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 12:26 PM by skygazer
How is taking your name indicative of the level of commitment she feels to the marriage? Have you ever considered what it's like to give up the name you've been known by for your entire life? To essentially change your identity?

I don't knock anyone who chooses of their own free will to change their name but I fail to see how NOT changing it indicates a lack of commitment. If you feel so strongly that it does, why is it that the woman is the only one who has to prove her commitment in that way?
