Is it important for you and your partner/spouse to agree on the same political views?
Just wondering what everyone thinks about this because my hubby is polar opposite of me and it's unraveling a whole bunch of not-so-fun moments. I want a divorce. (not really) But somewhere in my big plan, I always thought my life partner would parallel me with the same political views. It's just not turning out that way and I wonder.

Fill me on on why you chose your answer. Thanks! :2thumbs:

Nope. Most females seem to lean Liberal than Conservative. It's just something that makes things more interesting :haha:

No, it don't matter much to me but my wife does agree on most of my political views, and if she don't agree with me I set her straight.

Only for the shallow/weak minded would this matter. :roll:

Edit: "This" being that your spouse must have the same views.

Just in case my answer came across the wrong way. As is often the case. :mrgreen:

While it doesn't really matter to me, I am fortunate that my wife generally mirrors my perspective.

I would prefer a woman with an opinion about things. It would be pretty near the top of a list of requirements if I were to actually make such a list. And if she doesnt agree with me she'd better be ready to debate and defend her position because a good argument can be fun too.

I respect Abby's thoughts even when I don't agree with her. I am much more of an idealogue than she is, so I tend to know ahead of time how I am voting and how I would like the political system to operate. She is, honestly, more open minded than I am about politics. In fact, she is still on the fence about the presidential election.

On the other hand, when we talk about politics, our ideas make sense to each other.

There, are the waters muddy enough now?

I agree with you Richard. Agree to disagree....(in alot of things) My wife and I are 'not of the same party' I vote for who I want, she does the same. We don't agree on various arguable points but then who really does? I dont argue politics...with anyone, mainly because I don't like to argue - she does and it good at it. So what (sorry dear :haha: )

I said no, because if i was married to her I would have found out her political views and decided if i could live with them before I married her (thats what dating is for) . If i couldnt, then I wouldnt have married her in the first place.

Are you serious? If so then....all I can say is...WOW and how shallow.

I love being married to a strong woman with her own mind and ideals. That is one of the things that I find most attractive about her. And DAMN, how she can intelligently argue her point. :naughty:
