106: The Surname Debate: Marriage and Family Names

What happens when love, marriage, identity, lineage, and legacy all meet at the question of a last name? In this episode, I sit down with my husband to talk through a conversation many couples eventually face but do not always prepare for with enough depth: what happens to a woman’s surname after marriage, and what should happen when children enter the picture? This episode is for engaged couples and anyone trying to think more carefully about the meaning attached to names, family, and partnership.
