I really don't get the point of a joint account.
Husband/boyfriend has Account 1, wife/girlfriend has Account 2.
Example bill costs 100$.
Solution 1: I pay the full 100$ and my wife/girlfriend sends me the 50$ so we split 50/50.
Solution 2: She pays the full 100$ and I send her the 50$.
This is what my girlfriend and I have been doing for 4 years now. Is there something I'm not seeing?

Thank you very much for the explanation and I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I can see now how they can be beneficial.
