Those folks are likely considered married under common-law rules.

Of all this discussion on marriage and finances, perhaps we should spend a moment to reflect on the simple value many dual-income married families get to enjoy -- higher taxes!

Definitely happy. I think that we have a normal system in place to where we have a joint account for the joint finances, and personal account for personal use and for luxury things. Simple system for us and works just fine. But all this was for nothing because my wife wants the IS now lol. But I told her if she changed her mind, the GS is still available at a cheaper price than the IS lololol... figured you guys would've loved that... 😄

Vast majority of states no longer have an automatic "common law" marriage. Maryland where we live does not.

As a never been married man here, lessons I have learned from this post. It's OK to have separate accounts but don't sell your wife your car. LOL
