First, you shouldn't marry someone (let alone have kids with) if you're not prepared to spend some money for the greater good of your couple/family.
As a parent, you'll realize that money still is an important resource, but time, free time, sleep and health are at least as important.
You might earn more money than your spouse, but you'll be awfully glad to have someone at your side when you're stuck at work and the Kindergarten is closed, your kids are ill or they need to go to the swimming classes.
“I make myself rich by making my wants few.” is a quote by Henry David Thoreau. It is extremely important to save money with a family, because shit happensbad things happen and shitbad things will happen. This blog helped me a lot.
I probably gave more than 50k€ to my girlfriend (now wife) over the course of our relationship (7 years now). It's perfectly fine, because I had great experiences/trips with her, we have a wonderful daughter and I still have 2 free evenings per week. Those are far more important to me than more money on my account.
