My friends think that it's a strange arrangement. To us, it's a total trust of each other that we will manage our finance well.

How do you divide expenses: 50-50 or proportionally based on income? How do you handle retirement savings? How about vacations? What if one of you wants to take a particular trip but the other feels they can't afford it? Significant purchases like cars, furnishings, etc.? What would you do if one of you was unable to work for a time? What if you had a kid and one parent decided to stay home with him?
