Yes, married couples should combine finances
Fox News host Sean Duffy joins his daughter Evita Duffy-Alfonso to discuss raising children 'right' on 'The Ingraham Angle.'
A lot of married couples believe the best way to avoid fighting about money is to have separate bank accounts. His paycheck gets deposited into his account, her paycheck gets deposited into her account, they split the bills, and everything’s fine—right? Wrong. This can actually lead to some serious issues with your money and your marriage.
Now I know combining finances is controversial these days, and if it wasn’t modeled well for you growing up, or if it’s not what you’re used to, the idea can feel downright scary. Everything you spend becomes visible, and you’re suddenly accountable to someone else, and that’s a vulnerable place to be. I get it.
But the truth is, once you say, "I do," you’re one. You’ve gone from doing your own thing on your own terms to promising you’ll have each other’s backs and be on the same team for life. If you trust someone enough to make that forever commitment to them and you believe marriage brings you together in all other ways, why draw the line at money?
