I think it depends on the couple. What creates the most freedom and fewest arguments. There are three models: everything joint; 2 separate accounts and split the bills (fairly, not necessarily 50/50, depending on income); or a house account and small spending accounts for each.
My wife and I used to do joint. Now, she has a small spending account. Soon, we'll set up one for me, too. It works, and we've even traded off who's earning more money.

I believe that each person should have their own accounts, plus have joint accounts. In fact, I have a hub called Combining Money: Tips for couples. Check it out if you want more info!

I believe that in a Marriage you should share the money in one bank account. Also it helps if either the wife or husband take on the role of paying the bills so there isn't any confusion on what has been paid. This is the way the my parents did it and the way my husband and I do it.
