That's actually not a bad idea. I like the idea of each person having some money to spend and not having to account for it. It also makes it easier to buy gifts for b-days, valentine, mothers day, etc without them knowing about it.
This is what me and my wife have done since we got married 9 years ago.
We have:
Joint Checking - All money initially goes into this, all bills, house hold purchases, and big purchases come from this.
Joint Savings - Self explanatory
His/Her Checking - this is just a small amount of money each paycheck that we are not accountable to the other for. Great for buying gifts without the other knowing or small purchases just because.
We each have complete access to all of these accounts. This has worked extremely well for us.

This is what I'm leaning towards. Thanks for the share
