How do you manage money as a couple?

Whether your personal circumstances and spending habits are similar or different you may have questions about protecting or making the most of your assets. How do you maximise the tax advantages of marriage and civil partnerships? What are the rules about transferring allowances and assets? Which of you will be responsible for household bills, joint bank accounts, loans or credit agreements and what happens if you split up? In the event that a relationship does break down, how can you untangle your money and home fairly? Can cohabitation and prenuptial agreements help and what are the differences between Scotland and England?
