re: Married couples and joint/separate bank accounts

Money disputes are one of the leading causes of divorce but that fight is going to happen whether the money is in one account or two. Marry someone who you can trust. Marry someone whose values mirror yours. Marry someone who doesn't spend more than they can afford on bullshite. Beyond that, who cares? My wife and I have separate checking accounts because we don't care to combine them and all spending goes on our Amex anyway.
