My wife and I keep our finances separate too.

Except we both send money to an account that’s in my name offsetting the mortgage on the house that’s in my name too. My wife wants access to this account because she’s worried if I die the bank will make it hard to get at the cash since it’s offset and joint savings all in one.

Not to mention we don’t have wills and she’s been pushing for that for a few years.

The more I think about it, she might be planning on killing me haha

Your wife is basically paying you rent, she should be worried about something happening to you. You’re married, just put her on the title of the house.

    Well that’s new information. My marriage works very differently to yours so I can’t provide any advice

Just being pragmatic, nothing to say you won’t die 5 minutes from now, which makes putting it off irresponsible at best.
