I've been married for almost 20 years, and we keep our finances separate with the exception of one joint account from which we pay our mortgage. All of our other bills are divvied up and paid from our individual accounts. I can tell you that we've rarely ever had an argument about money, and I truly believe that it's because of this setup. I have my money and he has his, and because everything is separate, neither of us can really question what the other is spending, etc. This works for us especially because we have different spending habits. My husband tends to be on the frugal side, and I know he'd probably raise an eyebrow at a purchase I make here or there. I'm not a big spender, by any means, and I'd never make a huge purchase without discussing it with him first, but I do tend to be more liberal with my money. This way he doesn't stress about my spending and I don't have to deal with him questioning stuff. Again, it's an arrangement that works for us. To each their own.
My husband and I have done the same thing for the same reasons you stated. I also think it has worked well for us because we individually are responsible with money and can trust each other to stay in control of our own finances.
