It was the same… before and after kids.
We have two separate accounts, I manage both… I pay all the bills, my husband doesn’t care which account from.
It all our money, it doesn’t matter who earns more or who earns less. We have only one credit card (in my name, he’s on my card too)… we do all expenses from that card and I pay it off every week so as to not accrue interest. All our savings are also spread out in both accounts… his accounts tends to have more savings as he earns more. I pay utility bills from my account primarily as its more convenient for me to handle it this way.

I see. That sounds like that approach that melts away all of the money (trust) issues. And for that approach to work, there needs to be a 100% trust in each other and the commitment.
