[quote=Anonymous]Husband and wife having a similar last name is not a matter of like or dislike.  Of course no one would like to change a name that has been there with you for a good part of their life whether it is the husband or the wife. But fortunately or unfortunately it has been a tradition of the world for hundreds of years and our society has adopted to accommodate that. So one should blame our ancestors if you think it's the husband who should change the name or you think wife should not change the name at all.

Here's my point. Since it has been a tradition for many years, there are consequences for going against it. Here's a small example: What last name would the children have? And there will be many of these down the road of life.

On a more important note. Family is a unit, one team, a coexistence that needs to survive in the long run. Hence it naturally make sense to have everybody on the same page and being able to compromise has everything to do for its survival. Therefore, not willing to change ones name can say a lot about the self-centeredness of that person and usually a good recipe for a disaster in family life.
