When we got married, I managed the money, full stop. Not being very organized, things didn't go as well as they could have, and there was a disconnect between us about what was coming in, and where it should go out.<br /><br />We've learned that it's important for whoever is doing most of the spending to have the larger degree of managing the budget.
