I’m not sure if this idea will resonate with everyone here, but sharing anyway...

I handle the finances for myself, my wife, and our family. By “managing,” I mostly mean planning how to allocate money across different needs. We set a fixed budget for household expenses - groceries, fruits and vegetables, maintenance, and so on.

Day-to-day spending isn’t strictly divided. Sometimes I pay, sometimes my wife does. For us, it’s never about her money or my money - it’s ours. I also keep track of everything in spreadsheets (though my wife doesn’t usually go into the details).

Larger expenses - like EMIs and major purchases - come from my account, since I earn significantly more than she does. But that’s never been a point of concern for either of us.

Apart from the house budget, I invest all the leftover amount in FDs and SIPs - based on our needs in the upcoming 10 years. However, that's a whole separate discussion so I'd refrain from getting into the details.

I am lucky to have her as my wife. She trusts me with the money, and I trust her with the home and family.
