Ditto, I pay all the bills out of our joint checking. She doesn't care to and I don't mind.

... every once in a while she will get curious as to why I control all the money, then I tell her she can pay the bills and she just laughs.

That sounds familiar!

Whatever way of working your finances works don't change it. My one piece of advice is joint checking account that you pay your bills from. At the end of the day it is "our" money and it makes paying bills a heck of a lot easier.

That is exactly what we have, a joint checking account for all bills. We just have 2 additional checking accounts for our allowances.
Sounds like our systems are not all that different.
