Good topic, to show support, I'd give my two cents here
1. Both husband and wife should define a general family finance plan, such as risk prevention fund (lay-off is so common in NA), children education fund, house purchasing plan.
2. It is hard for two persons to agree on something totally, so how about allowing each person to have a control of a specific fund, e.g. wife for daily life expense, food, kitchen goods, decoration stuff while husband have a final say on his interesting items (computer & electronics)? After a while, both can exchange position
3. Both should learn to APPRECIATE what the other do for the FAMILY, and openly speak out your thanks with a small gift at a specific time (the gift should be purchased using your own fund)
