Oh, I agree that you should be able to manage a credit card. But some people CAN'T, or don't want to. That's their prerogative. I was just giving some examples of why a married couple would maintain separate accounts.

Oh, I was agreeing with you! I gave an example of a married couple with separate bank accounts to further drive it home. Then I went on my pro-credit card rant.
