which practice to keep finances after getting married: joint, or separate?
user
i personally think that you should do whatever you believe works best. i am not married but when i get married i would also want to do what you are doing with having a joint account for certain things but also still having seperate accounts. i find this is a good approach so that neither of you is dependent finanically on the other one. also, if you want to buy a present for your wife you would do it with your own money and not the joint account money. i hope my answer helps.
