We kinda do something similar to this, just set aside some "do whatever you want" money for each of us from each paycheque. I don't see how this would cause disaster, if my wife wants to save up for something from this play money what is the harm to me? If she skips going to lunch with friends or buying new shoes so she can save money for something else it doesn't effect my casual spending (IE - beer money). It doesn't come into play for things we do together, movies, dinner etc.
It's worked for almost 12 years of marriage for us.
