Well except I was richer than my wife when I met her and I brought far more assets to the marriage than she did, she makes more money than I do now, liquidity wise, but she wouldn't actually be able to claim more assets as being her doing, it's not my wife I owe my personal wealth to, it's my father and his father before him, who left me an inheretence, which is why I'm not 100% sure I would come ahead in the deal if my wife kicked me to the curb, because asset wise, I paid for this house, from my accounts, and this is rather her most valuable asset by far.
We don't have joint accounts, I have the same accounts I had when we married, so while my wife has more cashflow on a weekly basis, I have far more money banked than she does, so it's liquidity v. equity, she's got the liquidity, I have the equity.
