When we first got married, we were going to do that, and then we decided the allowance thing is silly. However, that's what my coworker and her husband do, and it seems to work well for them. Although, things are a little more cut-and-dry for them, since they don't have kids. They don't have to decide whether things like going iceskating with the kids should come out of the general fund or whichever parent is going, etc.
