I’ve been married for over 4 years now and my wife still hasn’t changed her name. She was in college when we got married and it was a pain to change all of the documents halfway through her education so we put it off.
The only time it’s even a minor inconvenience is picking up mail in the odd chance that the post office won’t leave it in our small apartment mailbox so one of us has to pick it up from the post office.
All the software in the world is setup for different surnames due to long term, live in boyfriend/girlfriend situations, as well as wives who want to concatenate their new name with the old. Marriage has been condensed to a checkbox on every important form and I’m glad it’s that way.
We’ve decided that our children will take my name and my wife will likely change hers then to make it easier for them to remember while growing up, but until then, we’re in no hurry.
