I am a widow engaged to be married in another year. My question is after being married for 25 years should I change my name? If I do is it a good idea to keep both names hypenated? Just wondering what everyone did.

Gee, that's a really just a personal preference. I suppose it depends on how you, your children and your new spouse feel.

Personally, when my children were smaller I didn't want to change my name. Now that they are nearly grown I don't mind changing my name. It IS (will be) a pain with all of the paperwork like changing your driver's license and such. If you DO change your name consider using a kit like this one:
