How do you guys think finances should be handled in a marriage?

I have friends who believe that there is no such thing as my-money/your-money and friends who believe that you have to keep it separate. Some of the people try to have both joint and separate bank accounts, but still can't figure out what constitutes "joint" money.

I am not talking about one being a spendthrift and the other bring frugal. How do you think money should be put together and dealt with?
