It's individual opinion on whether finances should be kept separate or not. The answer to how ready you and your partner are to keep finances separate will decide whether it's yes or no. There's no better way then letting them know the reason for which you want to keep finances separate or just telling your partner directly.

Finances become part and parcel of your life in marriage. If both are working they can separate their finances in different categories. Eg.one can pay for household goods while other can pay for vacation or restaurant bills.talking to each other directly is key to any relationship

time to define own terms. unless you are very clear as how you wish spend life on what terms, others will define for you.

Hi Thanks for reaching out. You can keep your finances separately. It is good to have your own bank account and have control over your finances. We are living at a time where people are broad-minded and hence you can do what is best for you. If you are worried about whether you should keep your finances separately or not consult a psychologist for counselling sessions. More information is required to provide guidance

Hi You are right it should be separate for the long term perspective and for healthy relationship.

It depends on personal choice.it differ from individual to invidual

Hi Yes

In a marriage, the approach to finances can vary from couple to couple. Open communication is key when it comes to discussing how to manage finances. Before making any decisions, both partners must express their thoughts, concerns, and expectations regarding money matters. If you believe that keeping finances separate works for your marriage, consider having an open conversation with your husband. Discuss your reasons for wanting separate finances and listen to his perspective as well. Understanding each other's viewpoints can help in finding a middle ground or a financial arrangement that suits both of you.

Hi dear concerned,  I personally recommend having a proper conversation regarding clarity of the personal contribution on routine expenses and future investment is very important, it all depends on the practical aspects of husband and wife understanding.   Regards

Hi this varies from individual to individual. Generally it is a good idea to keep some finances separate if not all, however a lot of factors have to be considered such as: individual preference, disparity in income, common expenditure, bills, etc. It's a good idea to bring up finances and have a discussion around it, seeing what your partner also feels comfortable with and coming to a common ground. If needed you can consult a pre marital counsellor.
