As for the last part: my now-husband picked up the tab for many an adventure we have taken together, and I can pretty safely say that if he hadn't, he would have been pretty lonely on those trips by himself. I could also care less who paid, as I pay for what I can (like dinner out when we're on a trip). Ultimately, the person with the money has to weigh the costs and benefits of paying the way for the other person.

Personally, I wouldn't buy stuff together (House,car, appliances) without a marriage contract. That's just me. Again, I don't see what anyone needs to know what you make until you share a budget.
