We contribute equally to a household joint account, from which our rent, utilities, most incidental household expenses and the majority of our food are paid. We each spend out of our own pockets on household stuff from time to time, when it's not worth writing a cheque or using a debit card. That pretty much comes out in the wash, I think. Vehicle expenses come out of our own pockets, i.e. I buy most of the gas, the oil changes, the ongoing stuff, since I do most of the driving; he takes care of the insurance and either covers or contributes to any major repairs.
Other than that, what we earn is our own.
It works for us.
