How do you budget as a couple? (self.personalfinance)

I'm curious how you budget as a couple or budget with family. Does one person take the lead and it's their duty? Are you equal participants? Does each person leverage their strengths?

What works for you?

I'm in charge but they're informed. What works for us may not work for others. Rather than any specific approach couples should find a way that works for them.

I know happily married people that still do even splits of expenses and "owe" the other for covering certain expenses.
