I married later in life, after being together 30yrs, owning a home and raising kids. At that point I was decidedly anti- name change. My husband didnt even realize I hadnt changed it until we rented a car (a different story for a different day). Had I been younger when we married, I may have made a different choice, but in my 50s, I had lived a life and a name change just seemed not... needed, I guess. No regrets!
