Keeping Your Maiden Name Is Rebellion Against God
It is a fundamental rebellion against God.
In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 1995, from Reforming Marriage, cited to the source.

It is a fundamental rebellion against God. So when our Susan Miller becomes Mrs. Robert Carter it is not just “something we do.” It is covenant security.
