My system is similar to AOII Angel's except I handle the money and he earns the majority of it. I was counseled by my mother that when you make a lifetime commitment, you have to commit all the way, including your finances. Of course, having a separate savings account for yourself is never a bad idea. But I just find it weird when I hear friends discussing who's paying for dinner or whose turn it is to pay for this or that bill. On the other hand, peoples' marriages are all VERY different and whatever works for you is what you should do. If I didn't control the finances in my marriage, we'd be homeless, lugging around mountains of overpriced junk.
