You need to watch the show on Netflix with Ramit it’s called “How to be rich” it talks about couple finances
Yes, if a couple doesn’t bicker about money they’re probably not being honest with each other. We talk about expenses regularly, but just big purchases or unexpected items. We merged accounts about a year after getting married.

We merged finances immediately but also married very young. I think everyone needs to understand the overall budget and financial objectives. We always agreed that any big purchases got discussed together. That amount has changed over time. At the beginning we had a combined salary of $35k. We bought nothing that was unnecessary. Today we probably discuss something that’s over $500. Still we have times where we say, “ok, we just spent a lot on that vacation, we need to go a couple months with no extra spending.”

Not married but together 10+ years. We don’t argue about finances but we are both very well off. We haven’t merged our finances. We have a shared checking account that we pay our household bills and mortgage from.
Joint account for everything but we each take a weekly allowance for fuckaround money. Dining out, entertainment, hobbies, girls/guys trips, etc. We discuss and decide together on how we budget and invest with the joint funds but once the allowance hits our individual accounts it's ours to save or splurge as we see fit.
Married 12 years and we never bicker about money, mostly because I handle everything. I ask my husband about purchases over $1000 and usually he doesn’t care. On the rare occasion he is against, I listen because it’s probably a bad idea. 😂 For us the key total is trust (almost all our assets and home are in my name because he’s in a litigious field), sharing common financial/life goals, and having the same opinions about where to splurge.
