A marriage IS a union between 2 people. A complete union? Hardly. A lot of marriages have a rule against putting limits on the other partner. The ol' respect my autonomy & I'll never do you wrong sort of thing.
As far as my input to the OP: Whose money is it? Are ALL of the obligations to house, spouse, & bills met? After that, I say the other has no grounds to stand on, but it would still be in your best interest to make her feel appreciated.
That you want it & it causes no hardship ought to be enough reason for a loving spouse to afford you the lattitude to go get it so long as all the other obligations have been met.

Talk it over. If you can't agree then it doesn't happen.
Ask yourself how you would feel if you didn't approve of a $3000 purchase and she did it anyway.
I'm sure others will disagree with me.
