Yeah I suppose I didn't do the best job wording that did I? My point was they split it evenly regardless of where it came from. Its not looked at or treated as 100% his money, its their money and treated as such without much thought to the name on the paycheck. I thought with the discussion tipping towards who makes what it might be interesting to take into account the old fashioned way of doing things when often times only the husband actually made any money and you had no other option but to split amongst the family.
Anyway yeah I agree in a marriage you shouldn't have to get permission to spend, hide what you've spent it on or, one of the worst of cardinal sins in marriage, hold how much you make over the other person.
