I find it interesting that the people who pool everything can't understand that others may prefer a different method. You don't do it the way I do? You must be envious or headed for divorce.
In my family I know of two couples and what they did. One had separate accounts; still happily married 50 years later. The other pool everything; divorced.
I think the problems come when the couple has different ideas about how things should be handled and can't come up with a workable compromise.
