Until this year I havent even considered marriage an option. Since I became a christian its obviously the only option. With girlfriends before I never wanted to cohabitate, pull incomes together (liked my independence). When I will marry I think I will want to handle the financial matters. Which doesnt means I will not listen to my wife, the final decision will be up to me though.

Ideally yes, of course. But the final decision will be mine regardless of her approval. It's just when I get married I will take care of the family. I will provide and I will plan (together with wife of course) where we are going as a family. I have always been like this and the girls also liked this. So no need to change this I believe. Besides women are emotional beings. This is not to put them down, its just a fact. And financial decisions (especially big ones) are better dealt with cold hard logic.

This is a generalization and doesn't always hold true. With my parents my father is the one who spends unwisely and my mother worries over the bills. I was staying at their house the other day and the water suddenly went off. When she checked into it,my father hadn't paid the water bill in two months. He's made several big purchases that were a mistake that my mother warned him of. So no, it doesn't always hold true that men are better with money and decisions.In my marriage my husband pays the bills but all decisions about how the income is spent is made between us.
Good question, when i am in the supermarket, i see the most time that the womans are paying the bill, while the man carry the stuff 
In our marrige I manage most time the money (and let my wife carry the stuff). The man should have the responsibility, who is handling with the money is sometimes a question of the ability. My wife dont like to handle with it. In greater and important things we decide together, and i must confess in the most times my wife has more the overview than me.
