I have a significant portion of our disposable income direct deposited in my wife's account. I pay all the bills from mine.

Legally, your premise is correct in most states. Practically it tends to play out differently in a divorce situation.

curious, why do you guys have separate accounts vs a joint account?

All of our accounts are actually joint. But she has the accounts she's primary on and uses, and I have the ones I pay the bills out of. Trying to manage finances while multiple people spend money out of one account and there are auto-pays for bills from the same account is simply too taxing for me to deal with.
