Do you think married couples should have a joint bank account, or maintain separate accounts?

Well it is not the 1950’s anymore so I think they should have both. I do still believe that if one person in the relationship is going to make a big purchase it should be discussed out of respect of how it may affect each other.

Respect.

Ex girlfriends and politics.

An outfit picked out personally by him.

Separate whites from darks. Why do you guys not understand that? 🙂
