Christine and I have joint checking and joint savings. It works for us but I wouldn't presume to say it would work for everyone. We have comparable incomes and we talk on a daily basis about money and we've never had a problem. I think joint accounts can work when everyone communicates clearly. Sure, there will be moments of animosity but I can't imagine that would go away completely if we had separate accounts.

It doesn't matter if all your money, assets, MREs and ammo stockpiles etc. are in one single bank account, bunker, tin can or under the same mattress or scattered across the globe in a thousand different spots with an elaborate treasure map system pinpointing your hidden caches. It only matters that you and your spouse are in cahoots about how to manage your resources. If not, there will be trouble regardless of how many or how few bank accounts are in the picture.
