As a couple, We have a joint bank account.

How do we open a joint bitcoin account where we both contribute our income, and money cannot be taken out without consent of both of us?

Thanks.
You don't need any fancy software to do this for you. Just generate a private key (your "account number") offline and with wifi/networking disabled for security, then print the private key onto two pieces of paper, one for him one for you. As long as only you two have the private key, then only you two will have access to the BTC in it. Then you can add the account as a "watch" online and start putting BTC into it, secure in the knowledge that there's no way anyone can steal your BTC online because the private key has never gone online. As soon, as you want to take money OUT, though, then you have to create a wallet and add it as a fully functional online account. I use bitchain.org's wallet system, because it's probably the safest bet for entrusting your key to third party.

Dafuck is bitchain.org? I just checked and it's just some stupid emoticon (~.~).

Entrusting your key to an third party is safe? Did you trust Inputs.IO too?

@OP, if you really really want to use an online service (I do not recommend it), I would advice you to use BlockChain.info. It has been around for a while and still stands strong.
