[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Separate bank accounts are fine. They are not indicative that the marriage is bad or not valued.

What's important is that the married couple have common financial goals and values. Those don't require joint accounts.[/quote]

Agree with this.  We have individual accounts plus joint accounts for household expenses.  We also have a joint credit card.  I cant even articulate why we do this way.  All the individual account predate our marriage and once we got married it was just easier to open a joint account.  Our marriage is fine and we have had exactly one argument about money - once I paid the credit card bill late and my DH bitch and complained for days about the resulting late fees and finance charges.   We also dont hide stuff from each other.  I know where to find the hard copies of my husband bank statements and I know his online username and password.  Its just works for us.  BTW, we fund the joint expenses pro rata based on our take home pay.[/quote]
