This has never been an issue for us and I honestly think it can cause a shitty relationship. We’ve always treated our incomes as “our” money vs mine and yours, it’s just never been an issue.

Now we have a couple kids and it’s hardly worth her even working. It’s not an issue, it’s all just “our money”.

We have friends who still have a hard split in their finances, and we’re talking 10+ years in at this point, with kids and a house and still maintaining separate savings accounts. A couple have huge income differences and they have what seem to be the most stressful relationship, constantly working out who pays for what.
