it will be completely her decision whether she will take my suname or continue with her surname. after all it is not easy to change your name you live with for so many years. it is your identity and you recognise with your name in the society. it is very difficult to change your name. i think in this way that if i am in her place would i do that. so how can i ask her to change her name.

Yop, I have no problem, to whether or not she changes her surname to mine but it just seems quite cute when she calls herself mrs. my surname( sorry don't want to disclose my surname). But really it doesn't matter to me what her name is as long as she is mine. And about the kids it goes the same, whether they have my surname or their mothers they will be my kid equally and thats whats enough for me. FOr me love and togetherness matters more than names or communities or traditions.
Take Care
May GOD Bles YOU

I don't mind if my wife use her own surname. Based the idea of fairness, some women are very concern about using their own surname instead of their husband's. They don't like the traditional practice. I think they may also question why their children have to use the father's surname but not their mother's. Well, do you like you sons and daughters take your wife's surname instead of yours?

Before I got married to my husband, I joked around a lot with him that I was going to hyphenate my last name. He wasn't very happy about that. If I would have really done that he would have been very, very mad.
The whole hyphenation thing didn't work out with us, but maybe that's what she could do if she doesn't want to give up her maiden name.
