A couple explained how they kept their marriage together amid a tense election on an episode of Dr. Phil released Friday.
In an episode focused on bridging America’s political divide, Barbara, a liberal, explained how shocked she was when she found out her conservative husband Rick was about to vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
"It floored me, it challenged what I thought I understood about Rick’s beliefs," Barbara said. "When he told me, I felt like the ground was opening up under my feet, and it was disorienting."
The wife explained at length that she saw a major dissonance between the moral quality of her husband and the presidential candidate he was voting for.

Repeal19 wouldn’t help anyway; at least half the States allowed women to vote before 19 was even proposed.
OTOH, universal suffrage is a disaster. We need a way of limiting the vote to people who have skin in the game. Welfare recipients shouldn’t vote; it’s a conflict of interest.
Her $$ quote - “... when my emotions weren’t so high” <>snort<>
Agreed! I’ve always said that up here - welfare recipients should NOT be allowed to vote. If that upsets them, then get a job! No vote for prisoners. One MUST have skin in the game.
The wife would much rather be lied to by a slick politician that is good at hiding their faults, than vote for someone who will actually do what the others lie about and who isn’t as ‘slick”
Wow! Poor man, he married to an idiot.
Hate it when you are right! ; )
“Doctor”???

Jesse Kelly said it about as succinctly as is possible when the group of them were discussing the Twitter Bye-Done thuggery “.... how do you explain to that person that every single thing they’ve been told on the television set is a lie....”
Just don’t be one of them. :)
That’s a plural them, not the tranny thing…

Nailed it.
A true Conservative should not believe in divorce. When I was fourteen I had made up my mind that I would never be divorced. As time got on I would tell everyone that if I could no longer get along with my wife, I would move across the country and we would live apart, but divorce would never be an option. I have modified my beliefs such that I would agree that divorce of a spouse who was convicted of a capital crime or a similarly serious felony, or had committed life-threatening violent spousal abuse is justified.
Divorce is never something to be considered for a disagreement of any kind.
In 48 years of marriage my Wife and I have had ups and downs. I'll never forget telling my family that divorce was a possibility with my beautiful Wife. My Dad died of his last heart attack a few days later. It was as if my Dad sacrificed himself for our marriage and my Wife and I became closer during those bad times.
I have never couched this belief in religious faith, although Methodism by original nature is the epitome of conservative.
This is similar to the situation with Kellyanne Conway and her husband. Her husband is a piece of crap for shaming her in the media over politics. Likewise, this woman is a piece of crap as well.
Fortunately I married well and my wife and I are for the most part on the same page politically. We both vote for Trump together, and go to his rallies too.
Which is why the 19th amendment is a failed experiment that needs to be repealed.
Thanks. I would tend to agree, and believe that we in our present society take divorce (and the vows of marriage) far, far, too lightly. I seriously regret— some years on, now— that it was necessary to divorce my wife, but it was. In marriage, we must believe our spouse to be an unwavering ally at a fundamental/spiritual level. If they are not, and openly identify themselves as an enemy, the options are few, and none of them good.
