Couples; Do you pool your money together?
Do you pool your money together in one account and pay the bills out of that account, or do you have seperate accounts and are each responsible to pay different things?

@swirlie do you know any other words, miss?

@swirlie it works for us. We have a chequing account where our paychecks are deposited and our bills are paid by the same account.

Bad idea to combine all paycheque deposits to a common chequing account. It works for you because that's how you've always done it, which means that's all you know. And it will only work until it stops working which will be a fragile moment in time.

@swirlie you come off as very cynical, that's all.
Even if shared bank accounts doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for anyone else.

You don't understand the difference between cynicism and realism. When it comes to your relationship with your partner, it is based on blind emotion, not tangible currency.
Money and love are like oil and water, which of course means they don't mix and in fact are opposite to each other.
To attempt to mix love, emotion, intimate relationship with asset currency is a fools game, I don't care how great your love relationship is with your partner.
Drinking from the same trough as your partner drinks from works fine until it doesn't. That is why you never set yourself up to fail by lumping all your financial assets into one common checking account while pretending that all is well, when in fact all is always well until it isn't.
