What are some reasons to take your new husband’s last name as your own?
Cupid’s Advice:
Getting hitched means you’ve found the love of your life, but sometimes it can mean losing who you are in the process. Taking your husband’s last name can feel like you’re erasing part of yourself. Here are some things to consider:
1. You won’t lose who you are: Changing your name will not take away the accomplishments you achieved under your maiden name. Think of the change as a new chapter in your life.
2. The name game: When you decide to have children, it will keep confusion to a minimum.
3. Your hubby will thank you: Traditional men often like to build their families as a unit. They want their children and their wives to carry the same last name as a courtesy. Plus, if you change your name, he owes you some chores around the house!
