I don't think it should, but I believe it does. The one that makes the most money might feel that he/she deserves the 'control' or gets to make all the decisions; and the one that makes the less money would most likely feel obligated to accept this. But remembering you are a TEAM will most likely help to avoid these feelings. We should always keep this in mind... there is no I in TEAM.

They can, you just have to make sure that both partners have an equal input and that both are satisfied with the other is putting into the relationship.
It depends. Sometimes yes. Sometimes we learn about each other and we experience new stuff.
We do not have any income yet

depend on how mature the partners are
no eso no es problema
No, I have been the primary provider for several years now and I would not have it any other way
They shouldn't and I think they don't matter when you really share everything. But when two people are dating, the difference can sometimes create tensions. It is a thing I still need to work on
No, we support each other.
It realistic shouldn't but people make it a problem
It never has before. I have always had my own account. He's had his and then a bill pay account that has both. we both put money in and pay bills from it. It doesn't matter to me as long as they are responsible and pay bills on time.
They shouldn't. At the end of the day, everything is ours.
I believe they can, but i don't think it should.
I don't think it should but I know there are a lot of people out there that think because they make more money that they are more important/in charge/powerful in the relationship, etc. When two people truly love and respect each other what what they have to offer as an individual then I don't think this is ever an issue.
It's very possible. However, it's a choice you proactively make to not allow this to happen.
