I just think that everyone has their own views on what a relationship should be about. That's why I wouldn't be with a guy unless we had similar goals, and views of what a relationship/marriage is. Not everyone thinks the same way about it, so if whatever works for you and your Mr. then don't change it. I also don't believe in separate bank accounts, because no matter what kind of income I'm making, I believe what's mine is his and vise versa. However, I also want to feel and know that I'm financially secure with the guy I marry, so our financial goals and views need to match. I also know that he has financial, physical, and emotional needs that I should be meeting. It's just that I think it should work both ways.
