Unban Cart.
For the oppressed, peace is the absence of oppression, but for the oppressor, peace is the absence of resistance.

The early results indicate that you should get a prenuptial, decide on a totally new last name when you get married, and have Cart as your Best Man at the wedding.

Re: Divorces: Women with Hyphenated Names
My wife kept her last name and I kept mine. If she wanted me to take her last name, I probably would have and I wouldn't have minded if she had taken mine. People treating marriage like it is a fucking business contract for heterosexuals who plan on breeding is why the divorce rate is so fucking high.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower

Re: Divorces: Women with Hyphenated Names
My wife and I almost combined our last names but then realized how expensive it would be for Me. All hers gets done for free, SSN, Drivers License, Insurance Cards, etc... So being newly married we didn't want the added expense. We took my last name which wasn't a real heartbreaker for her. Not that she had a huge fucked up name, she's just traditional and practical.
Personally, and I know this is irrational, I truly hate it when a woman has a hyphenated name. I really shouldn't because I have no valid reason to but I instantly have a dislike for that person and attach all kinds of personality traits to that person. Mainly, she's a bitch who is too good to take her husbands last name and now she feels superior due to that little -. I know I shouldn't feel that way but for some reason I do. *shrug*

The only reason I see it being useful is for actresses/famous sports figures
Chris Everett-Loyd
Farah Fawcett-Majors
In those cases it probably makes sense because "star power" name recognition is their bread and butter.
I'd be OK with making up an entirely new last name. I'm going to a big family reunion in June. It wouldn't sit well with the old timers if my new last name was D'Pooh!

Re: Divorces: Women with Hyphenated Names
One of my former bosses married a guy and took his last name, Uhrin (pronounced same as urine)... 
All I could do was think of the funny maiden names she could've had and hyphenated.

Re: Divorces: Women with Hyphenated Names
My former boss's wife was a Doctor, therefore, she kept her maiden name. It was a HUGE pain in the ass for him to set up anything over the phone for them. Everything from vacations to something simple like paying a bill by phone required a detailed explaination as to why they have differing last names, yet are married.
I guess I'm a traditionalist. However, if a woman really wanted something different and had good reasons to support it, I would be flexible.

Re: Divorces: Women with Hyphenated Names
Been married twice, both took my name.
My sister as part of her name change when she got married changed her middle name to be her maiden name.
My friend's wife is a doctor, she kept her maiden name ("for professional reasons").
I don't like hyphenated names, simply because they are too damn long, but I'm probably more of a traditionalist.
Higher divorce rate? Probably, but not as high as people with pre-nups, I'd wager.
