I really enjoyed both articles. My husband used to do all of the cooking, but his job changed, hours increased dramatically and he started making more money. Initally, when I took over the cooking, I just asked him to do other chores, but the timing wasn't right, my notes weren't notice and I became really frustrated. It took a while for me to come up with the same set-up you have. He pays for more. I also force him to buy me more treats. It works beautifully. We've been married for 10 years and have always kept our money separate. I've heard that a marriage isn't "real" until $ is combined, but I've also heard couples say NEVER combine your money - it was a mistake for us. Everyone is different. We're doing it our way and its working.
