For the record, if separate accounts works for you and your situation, that's great! Do your thing. But I don't recommend it to people, because if it doesn't work it leads to anger, distrust, and divorce. If you start your marriage with a joint account and full transparency about finances, and it clearly isn't working out, it will naturally and easily devolve into separate accounts, and both of you will be fine with it.
There's really not a right answer here, highly situational.
Two high school sweethearts who both earn $70k/year and have been together for 9 years? Sure, go all in on a joint account. If Bill Belichick marries his 24 year old girlfriend? Hold up, let's put the brakes on here.
A small funded joint account with regular contributions to pay for shared expenses and shared experiences is one thing. It's another if you are considering fully enmeshing your finances.
Things get even murkier given that we are on a entrepreneurship forum and that comes with additional considerations and risk.
A lot of factors like maturity, financial wisdom, life wisdom, trust, and other things have to be considered.
