In a household where one person is managing all of the money, I highly recommend that system. That is, assuming that both parties agrees for one to manage everything. In which case, the only thing that needs to be worked out is how much "fun money" the other person gets. In return, that person has to agree to surrender his or her paycheck to you. But that person also won't have to worry about paying the bills or anything. Just an allowance to do whatever they please.
It won't work for everybody, but it's an option that's worth considering.
