Weddings and Marriage

Results | Messages
This is a poll for anyone who is or hopes to be married. If you have soured on the whole idea of marriage or have no intention of ever getting hitched, this probably isn't for you. Go ahead and sound off on the comments anyway, if you want.
First, what is your gender?
Male
Female
Flexible on this point
And age range?
Under 18
18-21
22-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60+
Are you currently married?
Yes, in a heterosexual marriage
Yes, in a same-sex marriage
No, but I want to be in a heterosexual marriage
No, but I want to be in a homosexual marriage
No, and I never want to be married
If you are married, did you or your spouse change your last name?
Nope
Yes, I did
Yes, my spouse did
We both changed our last name
I started using a hyphenated last name
My spouse started using a hyphenated last name
We both started using a hyphenated last name
Never married
If you changed your name due to a marriage and later got divorced, did you change your name back?
Yes
No
Never changed my name
Which statements do you agree with regarding name changes?
This is a silly tradition and causes too much confusion. No one should ever change their name.
Women should be required to change their last name
Men should be required to change their last name
Women should adopt a hyphenated last name
Men should adopt a hyphenated last name
Blended last names (i.e. both partners change their last names) are just too confusing and should never be allowed
Blended last names are pretty cool and should be encouraged
This is an intensely personal matter. No rules or laws should apply other than the couples' own conscience.
