marriage, as an institution, has its own ingredients, and one of them is trust. but the question is, can that trust lead us into having joint accounts? i must say im surprised at the negative responses coming out from the womenfolk when from all indications, joint acct is in their favour.

After reading every post in here, I could tell that majority of you, if not all are still bachelors or sphincters. There is nothing wrong with having joint accounts. If you want to enjoy having joint account with your spouse, open it ONLY for the purpose of paying outstanding bills. You and your spouse should agree on how much each will put in the account monthly just to pay the monthly family bills, while each of you could still maintain your own private/individual bank accounts. Atleast that's what I do and haven't had any problems.... even though I'm the one footing all the bills currently because my wife went back to school for her Masters degree. I'm not complaining by the way.

I don't see any reasons to be afraid of joint accounts with ur wife, all my accounts in Nigeria are joint acounts becos there are situations where she is in Nigeria and needs some money to carry out OUR projects, do I have to come all the way from Europe to sign bank cheques b4 she is paid?. If ur afraid she may leave u, that is another reason, but bear in mind that in civilized nations, if u leave ur wife, she doesn't go empty handed, u have to pay her for the years she spent with u,hope one day sometime like that will start happening at home to  deter men from having 8 wives and 20 children without proper care and they end up suffering, other go into stealing and kidnapping

I support joint account for special family projects like building,purchase of land...apart from that,each person should have his seperate account.
