Hope is not a plan. Hoping your husband is paying the homeowner's insurance, and hoping your wife isn't dropping $300 on mimosas are not strategies
Damn, I can’t really imagine being married to someone with this lack of trust. Do well choosing your spouse and these things shouldn’t be an issue

Yea that’s what I’m confused about 
. Having separate accounts isn’t in the spirit of marriage but at your base, having to plan for your spouse lying to and deceiving you is? Planning together and being able to operate as a tandem isn’t but this level of distrust is?

Why wouldn’t your spouse be able to see if payments were made?
Lack of accountability and effort, usually on the part of women. The IRS didn't create Innocent Spouse Relief, as an example, because there were a bunch of women filing bad tax returns and getting the spouse to sign them. Most non primary breadwinners assume everything is on autopay, have no idea if their spouse has opened credit cards to finance golf or trips to Vegas, or whatever.
A friend's dad died a month ago at about 80. His wife, his only real friend (in a good way, that super lovey dovey type) is super smart. Didn't know who their insurance was even with, etc., until the son got involved. This is repeated constantly no matter how rich or poor the family is on a monthly basis; straight financial ignorance.
We live in a low friction society, where most people that are not the primary bread winners, ignore money as long as the debit card works. If you're old enough, you remember the old joke that as long as there were checks in the checkbook, that meant there was money in the account?

When the average divorce rate is effectively a coin flip (50%), and when there’s a massive wealth disparity between the two spouses, the wealthy spouse would be foolish not to put a marital agreement in place that separates assets and accounts.
