When you are in a serious relationship or marriage do you think you should have one bank account?

There should be one account for bills and separate accounts that are for personal savings, each to the benefit of the other should one of you die.

I hear what you are saying so bank accounts are personal no need for messy divorces or breakups right?

I believe you should have 1 joint account and one separate account

Always separate accounts. Of course, I am the dominant with our finances, as my mate is bad with money, so I control both the accounts, but if I need what is in his account, I tell him what I will be using it for first, and we agree. e simply has no access without permission because he is a spendthrift and would quickly run us both broke if e had unlimited access to our funds.
