I think it doesn't really matter whether others agree with how a couple does things, as long as the couple agrees to the plan. The only arrangement I would have concerns with is if one spouse had total control over all the money, as that makes it difficult for the other person to leave the relationship (such as one spouse being abusive).

I just find it amusing that it seems like all the "combine everything" people seem to think anyone who doesn't follow that plan is headed for divorce.
