Does marriage means you share everything? Even the money?

Some 60 % of marriages end in divorce, and a lot of those people blame finances for the breakup. In fact, according to at least one book, 'Financial Infidelity' is the #1 problem in relationships. Secretly spending money, opening hidden credit card accounts, lying about purchases - all behaviors bound to crumble the foundation of trust that holds relationships together.

So when we posed the question about how married couples should handle their finances - with joint accounts or individual bank accounts - it wasn't surprising to see a lot of emotion rippling through the responses. For those who aren't so bitter or bruised that they'll never share a financial account with anyone, ever again, the general concensus seems to be a compromise. Have a joint account for household expenses, but also maintain individual accounts for everything else.
