Joint or No Joint

Do you girls all have joint accounts now with DH? We merged our accounts when we got engaged so we could save for the wedding. Now we are married and we were talking the other night about the bills and the holidays. He was saying he hates it now because since I do all the bills I know what was taken from the bank, he feels like if he goes to buy me something I will know. How do you girls do or deal with this? We are in the midst of trying to bring our debt down from the wedding so having our own accounts would be hard because we are paying everything together. I am wondering if when we get to a comfortable place maybe we should also open up our own accounts as well?? How do you all do it????
