I like buying things that suit us both, furniture for the house etc.

What happens if you want to buy tickets to a Flames game or go play a round of golf with your friends? Do you simply take it out of the joint account? Do you need permission or do you have the flexibility to make those decisions?
I wouldn't say I "need" things to make me happy. I want to make both of us happy but we don't always share the same interests. If I want to golf or go to a hockey game that isn't always something she wants to do, meanwhile she might want to go for drinks with her friends or spend money on something I have no interest in. If it makes her happy great. She should have the freedom to do those things as well.
Both sides of the argument have very valid points. We are just trying to figure out a system that works best.
And as for when we have a kid....obviously I am going to be the sole provider so I will make sure everyone is well provided for. I am not going to tell her she has no spending money because she has been at home for the last few months not working.
