My husband and I have maintained all the bank accounts and credit cards we had 
before we were married.  (1.5 years ago).  We opened one joint account 
for investments.

I pay all the bills because it's a task I dislike less than he does.
Because of this, most of our checks go into my account.  

There are two reasons we do it this way.  First, we were too lazy to change
anything.  Second, if one credit card or checkbook is lost, or if one of us
should die, the second account will always be clear.   The extra cost has
turned out to be minimal.
