Default ending a letter from a couple

What is the correct order for the signature of a personal letter being sent from a couple? Does the male name come first or does the person actually writing the letter come last?

If this is an informal personal letter, it probably doesn't matter much. It's probably normal for the person actually writing the letter to sign first and the other add their signature afterwards (that's how we always do it). Sometimes the other person might also write a few words in personal greeting, but this isn't necessary.

Here in England we do it the same way as Rewboss has mentioned.
