Should married couples put their money together or should it be seperate?
It should be whatever is comfortable and practical for the partnership. Ideally, everyone is responsible with money and nobody has unreasonable amounts of debts. Realistically, that’s not always so. My husband and I have a joint account and a joint savings. I also have a college fund that my family contributes to that isn’t in his name (though he knows about it), and he has a checking account that I don’t have access to. I know happily married folks who love each other to bits but who cannot agree on money, so they maintain separate accounts and each person pays half of each bill. It can be cumbersome and requires quite a bit of management but that’s what it takes for those individuals to be comfortable with their money.
