Say what? I'm pretty sure the whole institution of marriage is stacked in our favor. Anyway I say she can keep her name for public business but I'd like it if she took my last name legally.

not until you get a divorce

Divorce is pretty much the only time a woman starts to get the upper hand in a marriage and that's only a relatively recent development causebefore a man would win even (or sometimes especially) if she left.

C. She's taking my name we get married. Final answer.

D.O.B,degrees over $$+#$%!

I feel you.....The only reason the discussion was brought up is because I over read a comment about keeping her last name on facebook.

And shouldn't a relationship be with a particular person be with someone that you can see as a potential wife?? If not.....kick her to the curb!!!
