Well, I'm not married and have no intention of marrying anytime soon, but here goes...

I have absolutely no intention of changing my name. If he isn't secure enough with himself, me, and my feelings for him to think that I love him regardless of what my name is, or whether or not I wear a ring, or me if he doesn't wear a ring or change his name, then clearly we aren't meant to get married, are we?

To be quite honest my loyalty lies with my family. I love all of my family dearly and kind of feel that it's disrespectful to just throw away my name so lightly. Not that I wouldn't be loyal to someone I married, but it's entirely possible (divorce rates being what they are) that the marriage wouldn't last.

Besides, isn't it entirely possible to enjoy a fulfilling, complete and happy marriage without sharing surnames?
