I have put it under proper considration but some friends are still argue with me that it is not good enough to shear a common purse with ones wife ,some claims that there will be a cheathing in as much as you can withdraw any amount from the family bank account, is it good enough to shear a common purse with ones wife ?

Now it depends on the understanding and agreement between the couple. Some people share the same purse with their wives and wouldn't want it any other way, some have seperate purses and couldn't be happier. Some share purses to have a joint knowlegde of how much money they send and stuff like that but personally i'll like to have a purse of my own cause that enables us both independance at any time. I also think the sharing of purses can bring diagreements which can result to bigger quarrels or misunderstandings because atimes the couple now tend to controll each other more than necesaasy. The couple can have a joint account where they have the general money for general use. But remember that's just my own opinion
