WHAT IN A NAME


Today is another bright day for me to ponder over this:  A BRIDE KEEPING HER MAIDEN NAME.
I was recently asked by a friend if I would like to keep my maiden name (family name) after marriage and when I responded, he was sort of against my responds and then it got me thinking. Keeping a maiden name, is it necessary? Does it worth all the fuss about it? Isn’t it highly overrated?
Think about it
I have had that name for like a very long time since the day of my birth till the day I want to get marry, that name serves as my identity as been part of something, a family, community, society etc. Keeping the name will remind me where I came from, who I am really, so keeping my maiden name will justify that. I know most celebrity especially those who became celebrity before marriage tends to keep their maiden name for the reason that they have built up a professional reputation that they don’t want to compromise, even though they are married so as to remind them who they were, where they came from.
So I decided to keep my maiden name after marriage, does that make my husband less of a man? Should that seriously affect his ego? Keeping my maiden name does stop me from having my husband’s name which of course everyone knows it always the last name.
On the other hand, leaving my maiden name out of the equation shouldn’t raise any issue whatsoever, as I have taken another man’s name (which I vow in holy matrimony to uphold) that name should give me an identity and a good one. That name should add value to me and swear to profess, protect and provide for me. That name I have decided to take against all odd, that name should promise to never make me regret dropping my maiden name and we should together uphold the reputation of that name because that is the name I will finally be remembered with.

My point is, A BRIDE KEEPING HER MAIDEN NAME IS OVERRATED

Guys: How do you feel about your wives keeping her maiden name?
Ladies: Would you love to still use your maiden name after marriage?
What your take on this?

MY STAND ON WOMANHOOD

There is a lot we need to learn about ourselves women,
Like they say, our life is in order. After birth, we go to school and be train to be a good woman, wife and a mother.
All our lives have been centered on BEEN A GOOD WOMAN, WIFE AND A MOTHER which ofcourse it really really great (Thank God for that). But there is more to been a woman, there is more to been SHE.
Our men should understand that it not all about been a good woman, wife and a mother that make a woman fulfill, it about having a sense of purpose, with the knowledge that she matters in some certain expect of development, acknowledging she was part of the creation/invention of something, that is what makes a woman fulfill.
If that is not the case, God would not have made it that we will want to feel fulfilled, He would have in one way or the other remove the sense of fulfillment in women and that way we will sheepishly be following and living a man’s dream but then that void in sense of fulfillment will always be there until the void is filled with something.
Because of our understanding about been really serious about getting married and raising children, it makes us  feel our fulfillment comes from marital life (though being a wife and a mother is another fulfillment, do not misquote me) but we need more and we realize after achieving all that, something else is missing.
I hear a lot of women who stopped working to raise their children complain of how bored and frustrated they feel and how they wished they can go back to working as they use to but their husband would not allow it and I really really felt for them because though the husband  may have all the money needed to take care of the family  including as many wives as he want if it allows, a woman needs to have a sense of fulfillment somewhere, she wants to matter somewhere and she want to know that she was part of the creation, development of something somewhere hence the need for women to work.
That my opinion on this
What do you think?
Love to hear your opinion, GUYS AND LADIES
