nice girl is exactly right. There is a divine order, God is the head of man, man is the head of the house. That is why his sir name is the one taken as the representation of the house. The man will be held accountable for helping, providing for, and teaching his family. The man will be held accountable for doing what the Lord says, and keeping his family on the correct path. The wife is supposed to submit to the husband, which isn't bondage it simply means to respect him in love and help him do what the Lord needs him and his family to do. She will have her own calling from the Lord, too, but her primary responsibility is to her husband, and support him in such a way that he can go to the higher levels he's called to. Much the same as he is to submit to God's authority and help him.

I agree that it is the tradition. But a tradition is originated from the natural status of each being and the relations between them. Whatever the case we need to admit that man was leading the community. Man is first among two equals, that's all.

It all goes back to when women were property of their husbands.They had to give up their identity.Before I married my first husband,I told him I wouldn't take his name unless he took mine.So we hyphenated our names and that's how my oldest's name is still.Now,I just hyphenated my last name with his,and that's how the baby's is.My second husband is a junior,so I let him keep his last name as is.However,if I ever get married again,I'm just going to leave my name alone.I will keep my original last name and he can like it or leave!

I'm not sure exactly, but I'm thinking it has to do with husbands being the head of the home and wives submitting to them. I personally was (and am) honored to take my husband's last name. So that's my answer, don't stone me for it. LOL.
