They say love of money is the root of all evil, and it certainly can be when it comes to your relationship. Money can come between you and your partner and cause irreparable problems. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Couples building a life together have to answer this question: should we have a joint bank account, or should we not?
Do you think having a joint account with your spouse is right ? If yes, give your reasons.

Gladly

I would luv to have a joint account that would be used to meet all family needs. every month we would both have certain amount we would deposit in it[mine been the largest] she would be sole signatory. and op this should be in the family section

Your account, her account and a joint account for household bills.

Anything else is just a disaster waiting to happen. trust me.

Reason to keep same account with your spouse.
Encourages regular communication about finances
Built-in accountability partner on spending matters
Fosters unity in money matters
Strong sense of working together to meet financial goals
Clear that all household income is treated as “our” money

Let me first start by saying that this thread will soon be on front page. It is just a matter of time

Back to the topic- Yes, i can share joint account with my future spouse but that will be after i divide my own salary into 3 parts. Then I will save one part into the joint account and use save one part into my personal account. The last part will be used to maintain myself(pepper joint, changing my wardrobe etc) .
