So, since I know quite a bit of problems can be caused by finances in a marriage, and I'd like to avoid that pitfall in my upcoming state of matrimony, how do you deal with the money ?
Do you have 1 account for both of you ?
One account for household money, and have seperate accounts as well ?
Some other combination ?

If you keep 1 household account, how do you keep things like presents and such a suprise ?

What is your agreement about spending from the joint account ? Must you discuss any purchase over 50? 100 ? anything that is PURELY for you ? My parents are divorced since I was 6, so I don't really know how they worked out the finances, so I'm just curious how my fellow GCers deal with it?
