You have obviously not been married but relying on romantic idealism as your pillar of truth. I'm sorry to bring you down to earth but a married couple sharing EVERYTHING together in trust and faith seldom happen in the real world.

Sharing finances is fine if both parties have the same attitude, spending habits, plans and opinion with respect to money. Otherwise joint finances can be a disaster in a marriage.

Yes, everyone has different mindset and attitude in managing finances. Hence, i would say it is good to maintain own finances, while having a joint account that both sides contributes (need not to be 50-50, depending on both sides' incomes and agreement).
