We don't want or own debit cards for many reasons.
I went to the teller, she said: " They can't cash the check because my wife wasn't present."
Even though I had my ID along, the head of the household and had my checking account at the same bank.

Having a debit card is no big deal if you only use it to withdraw cash from the bank and not in any retail store and keep it in a safe place where only the two of you know where it is. My husband and I both have our own checking accounts but both names are on both accounts, so no problem accessing either account. You can add her name to yours and she can add your name to hers.
