[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand why any married couple needs a separate account to purchase gifts. [/quote]

I don't understand women who willingly forfeit control of some or all of their own earnings, how about that? That's as legitimate a feeling as your own.....

No, not legitimate.

If you believe joint accounts = forfeiture of control, this necessarily means that both the man and woman in a joint account can lose some or all control. Unless you believe that it's impossible for men and women to share equal control over a joint account, or that women can't possibly assume majority control over a joint account, as so many joint-account relationships do, then your feelings are not legitimate.

A joint account can be liquidated by either party at any time.

Both spouses should always have their own money, credit, etc.

While it's all unicorns and fairies to think that such things would never happen in a marriage, I guarantee you they do.
