Most have said a proportional contribution to the family pot to limit this. However, you can just as easily have both partners keep the same discretionary amount of money
I just find it it’s a true shared pot , you end up with eye rolling and annoyance with the other sides purchases. New Xbox , ugh did you need that! $300 shoes? Reallly !!!
If each side retains some financial independence , in my opinion and experience there are less arguments and fights ( and guilt in some cases on what you buy )
