[b][When you're married you have to agree how the money is spent. When you're divorced you decide for yourself. The whole reason people hate child support is you give money to someone else and you have no control over how it is spent, despite the ostensible rationale that it's "for the children".][/b]

There is no rule that you have to agree on how money is spent when you are married.  If I wanted to go out right now and buy a car, I could do it without my husband’s approval.  If he wanted to put a tens of thousands on a high risk stock in an e*trade account, he could do it without my approval.  
I guess that maybe he could sell the car.  It would be hard for me to pull the money from the e*trade account without him giving me the account information.  
The only real recourse you have is being angry.

He couldn't sell the car if it's in your name or jointly without your consent (legally).  But, this because I can do what ever I want (but my husband doesn't care) and he could to.[/quote]

Yes.  We can both spend our joint income however we want to create a nice home and raise our family.
As the woman in a fairly traditional marriage, I spend most of the money because I do nearly all of the grocery shopping, clothes shopping for the family, vacation planning, signing kids up for activities, gift buying, home decorating, etc.

If we split, I would have a lot less money to do that with.  It’s in my best interest, financially, to remain married.
