In marriage, do you believe that the woman should take the mans name?

Yeh i wouln't marry unless that was to happen. due to i want my familys name to live on, not just die out.

The only reason really is tradition, which in my eyes is a **** reason for most things. In this day and age I wouldn't be surprised if the fact it's always the man's name is questioned. I imagine a marriage feels better with the same name so I'd be inclined to say just choose whichever is the better name (if they can agree lol) but then again I don't think I've ever heard of a man taking his wife's name so that would probably be weird

Wow, this thread was older than I realised.

My question is, what's she doing out the kitchen!?

Jokes. I think traditionally yes, unless it's a funny last name, then she has all the right to want her last name.

It also causes problems if you get a divorce too.
