Re: Husband Name Change
I heard a great commentary one time about how lying is not just telling an untruth, but telling an untruth that you don't have permission to tell. In other words, the guy said, his wife gave him permission years ago to lie about little things: does this make me look fat? Why NO, dear, it makes you look amazing! So, if she's giving you permission to lie about it, I don't think it's much of a lie.
Also, if you really felt that having her take your name was important, then maybe it's equally important for you to take hers? Maybe if you think of it as a way to show that you are equals, rather than the name issue itself, you'd be "glad" to do it and won't have to lie!
