We don't say "Ok, you made this much, you're money will go to X% & my money will cover X% of the bills."
Just seems really really weird to me. What's mine is hers and what's hers is mine.

Call me immature, but that is what I don't like about marriage. More and more it seems like marriage is about financial stability. I don't think love should be about money and/or using all your spouse's money when you didn't earn it. Sure this isn't an issue when you both make about the same amount of money and spend the same amount of money but what about the extreme circumstances. But it's about respect. If you make alot more than your wife, and in addition, she is spending 2x more money than you. That is bullshit.
