My husband and I have one account, which is joint. He has his own credit card and I have my own as well. We do have access to each others accounts though. We work out our finances together, although my husband tends to do the finances more than I do.

My wife and I have separate accounts and split the bills 50/50 (we both make about the same amount of money). We do not share credit cards and do not access each other's accounts. She can spend whatever she wants on whatever she wants and vice versa. I don't think we have ever argued about money (she and I have similar philosophies regarding spending and saving)

My H will tell you: He didn't have any $$ money when he met me and he still doesn't! He hasn't 'seen' a paycheck in years. It's been direct deposited or mailed to me (he travels 8mth a year for work) for over 15 years. Lol!

All our accounts have been joint since before we were married. We both worked then; now he's the 'breadwinner' and I'm a 'Domestic Engineer'. The $$ goes in and I pay the bills; been that way since day one. He's NEVER complained once. He needs money/something, he knows where/how to get it (debit card, credit card, etc). I have our budget done 6m to a 1yr in advance so we know when we're looking to purchase something, when the cash (we pay cash for everything except our house & vehicles) will be there to pay for it. This has worked for us for almost 20 years and neither of us sees a reason to change it.

I already how most people do they are poor and struggling and putting everything on credit and living with a cloud above their head and dream of things they cannot have or the "dream" life they failed to reach.

In a marriage you should share but yeah

My W and I do 50/50 on all of the bills. Seems to be the most fair way and hey, it works.
