It's my understanding that only widows use their Christian names and their husband's last name with Mrs.

Married women are either Terri Cullen or Mrs. Gerald Cullen.

Good point. However, it is helpful at times to indicate that you are a "Mrs.," not a "Ms." While I would love to work professional as Mrs. James Doe, it is frowned upon at work. So I am Mrs. Jane Doe.

Why is it frowned upon?
