We share one, but have separate savings accounts.
-
We have seperate checking and joint savings, but our checking accounts are linked.
-
i gave my wife all of what i had,she is better at saving.i am too generous.
-
We have separate accounts but are considering keeping those and adding one joint account to pay household bills from.
-
I am not married, but my plan is to have a joint account and also two individual ones. Each month money would come out of each of our accounts by direct debits into the joint account in order to pay rent/mortgage/whatever, and the rest of the money staying our own. However, things change if one partner is out of work, or at home caring for children. In that case one partner needs to support the other.

We only have one account with direct deposit and I take care of all the money...all the bills...we both have ATM cards so he can get what he needs from the bank... I'm better at taking care of the $$$ because I like to save, and I'm teaching him more and more every day how to save money...shhhhh don't tell him though.. ;o)

While I never plan on getting married (I like my possessions thank you), When I get into a long term relationship We will have two different accounts. I really havn't bothered working out the details but I will insist on different accounts.

Most divorces are over money. Your money and my money simply does not work. We have one account, our account. It has worked for more than 34 years.

not married yet but definately two bank accounts I mean marriage is supposed to be forever but statistics show that divorce is as common as marriage so im not taking the chance

we have our own accounts but we also have a "house account" where every week we put an amount in to pay rent and bills. everything else like groceries we just go halfs in. as we earn different amounts it is nice to have our "own" money and also house money. My parents divorced over money and they had a joint account.

All our money is pooled, he ain't going nowhere with it, it's not enough to run off with.
-
we have both..A joint account that we contribute to each month and also our own private accounts...
-
When I married my wife, I gave her everything I was... I belong to her. And vice versa. You could say we are one. And so is the money we bring in, and the debt we rack up. IF you keep count/score/statistics (you pay this, I'll pay that), you're setting yourselves up for failure.
