Chris and I have one account, we have a savings account that is separate, but that's normal. We both get what we want when the money permits, so it works out. We do this so we can share the responsibility of paying the bills and such, because it can become too much. I knew a couple that did that, but they were older and had a established life before they got married. They split the bills up evenly and it works for them.....so I guess it just depends on where you are in your life, but "hiding" another account is a good way to go down the wrong road. As long as you are honest about it than whatever thats fine.
