The principle of this custom is found in the very first marriage. In Gen. 2:7, God created man first. In Gen. 2:23 Adam said what Eve would be called. Eve did not say what Adam should be called.In Gen. 3:20, Adam changed her name to Eve. Since that time men have changed women's name to theirs when they marry. In Ephesians 5:22-24, we read how God commands that a wife be in submission to her husband because he is her authority in marriage as Christ is the head of the church.
I believe that a woman who does not love her husband enough to take his name dishonors God and him. |
