That's the way we do it. Dump the majority in a joint acct, and then each of us have our personal accounts we do what we please with. Makes it easy during xmas, b'days, anniversaries, etc., so you can buy something without it showing up and tipping the other one off its coming.
In today's age, with all the BS ya gotta go thru to make a living, knowing you have at least a little 'mad money' for totally discretionary spending makes the week go by a bit better.
But, I agree with others, you should know exactly how much she's out there. That affects not only your liability, but your ability to plan for things like cars, furniture, nice vacations, etc. Not to mention if she should be off work for a few months and her liabilities get dumped into your lap...
