There are pros and cons to spouses sharing a joint account. In today's volatile economic climate, it is more adviasable to have separate accounts. If you wish to have a joint account, use it as a maintenance account for paying joint bills: mortgage, utilities, groceries, etc.

Actually, it's a good idea for couples to share their bank account. However it is not mandatory. A husband and wife are not required to maintain a joint account and they can open a joint account if they wish to operate a bank account together (jointly)
