Marriage and Finanaces

This is a question that always seems to come up when I talk to my friends who are both married and single and it is always interesting to hear all sides of what they think it should be like. There are some that think that the wife should just stay home and the man brings home the bacon, also where both parties work and balance. I can see plus and minus for both sides. I think that it should be a mutual agreement on how things should go and make sure that both parties are happy about the arrangement.
