Who has ridiculed men for not committing in this thread? I'd think that since we are discussing marriage, the commitment is a given.
What does changing her name have to do with committing to the marriage? What about the man? If both parties are keeping their own name, wouldn't that mean, by this logic, that the man wasn't committing to the marriage by keeping his name?

Sorry, not buying that. I understand if both parties want to change their name, but IMO, the woman can easily solve the problem by not getting married.

Or by keeping her name is that's what is best for her.

Of course, that could interfere with alimony, but hey--she shouldn't compromise her convictions.

Of course, because divorce and the subsequent spousal support, which can go both ways, and the ensuing drop in quality of life for both spouses, that's the purpose of marriage. Not, say, commitment to the person you love.
