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.
Next Steps
You can call and consult me.

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 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.
Next Steps
consult a pre marital counsellor
