In my household every dollar that comes in goes into a joint account and we budget accordingly. We each get our own spending money, which is not always equal. It depends on what we each need at the time, not on how much we make. I don't subscribe to the "my money is my money" school of thought. Everything is ours. If he makes more, if I make more, it doesn't matter. We don't hold that over each other's heads. I don't like the idea of a woman being made to feel like she's less important in the relationship because she makes less money.
I do think the man should be able to provide for his wife, especially if they want to have children. She may not plan to be a SAHM, but you never know what will happen once you actually have a child.
