Don't worry, eventually you'll just get tired of arguing about it and do things the way she wants to. Trust me, marriage is all about picking your battles. Would rather be right or would you rather be happy? These words will become especially relevant once you get married.
As far as accounts go, I would have a common account that all your money goes into and then have seperate accounts for your pocket money. Finances don't work in marriage if either party holds earning power over each other's heads. All the money is "our money" and then you pay each of you an equal "allowance" for walking around money. You should always confer with each other for big purchases.
