My wife and I have a joint account that has both of our paychecks going in and all of our bills coming out. Each paycheck we take an "allowance" that we can do as we please. We each hold separate checking accounts that we transfer this allowance into. This has really worked well for us I feel. Any clothes purchases is spent from the individual accounts but hygiene stuff is from the joint account.
As for your assets, I would say to alleviate any tension, just put them in an account joint in both of your names.
