1. Get a joint account.
2. manually deposit money in the joint account to pay for bills (mortgage, utilities)
3. she has her "other bills" like car payment, fun money, etc. that she uses her own checking account for.
4. I have my "other bills' like car payment, fun money, etc that I use my own checking account for.
This way, in the future, we will both pay for bills, but get to keep our own money for our own things.

This.
I own two businesses (used to be three) and the only way my wife and I keep things on the up and up is if I pay for everything and let her throw in when she wants to.
She is finanically responsible, though. Never had much, but she never spends like she wants much. Pretty sweet, and she has a nice rack to boot.
