I've always thought it was funny this way. I have friends who are married, have kids, etc and they maintain separate accounts and pay rent and bills to each other. I on the other hand am common law and have had joint accounts ever since we built a house. Granted, our income is nearly identical, but I had more equity in my previous home than her. The lack of a need to "split things" or worry about if everything is even is the way it should be. No bickering over money, it all comes from the same place.
