This whole idea of peacefully coexistance between the “left” and “right” has ended. Communists and Americans cannot occupy the same country and be governed as one nation. It’s just impossible.
They arrest and imprison your President and then invite you over for cookout?
Religion: I could imagine being married to someone raised in a different faith, and still devoted to that faith; purely ideological differences based upon differing interpretations of Scripture (sometimes as picayune and legalistic as the placement of a comma in a Biblical quote), or perhaps simply accepted as matters of Dogma, will not necessarily result in incompatibility.
Money: If the husband is the primary breadwinner and holds the purse strings, then his views and values should prevail. In a completely symmetrical arrangement, differences in attitudes towards earning, spending, and saving could be brutal.
Work: Again, assuming a traditional division of labor and roles (husband = breadwinner; wife = housewife), this shouldn't be a source of friction.
Sexual fidelity: I am appalled that that one item should even have to be listed.
Abortion: For me, this is a shibboleth - in the sense of: a means of dividing the sheep from the goats. I don't accept the bogus argument that, because males can't become pregnant, we should be allowed no say in the matter (NOTE: Roughly HALF of all aborted babies are males). But I understand that females will almost always have a different feeling on the matter.
Guns: Another shibboleth, but more in the meaning of: Gives one insight into a far deeper political attitude which a person might harbor.

Good thing that you dumped Pelosi's sorry *ss! Hope that you had better dating luck later in life!

I think that it is also a matter of fear and/or cowardice.
They refuse to acknowledge the existence of, let alone consider concrete measures to combat, certain vital (geopolitical) issues - because the truth is simply too terrible for them to accept.
They advocate "peace," "appeasement," and "disarmament" not because they genuinely believe that it would work, but rather because the idea of actually having to fight against truly evil forces in the world is too awful for them.
They'd rather pretend to themselves (and get us to pretend, too) that sticking daisies into rifle barrels (metaphorically) really works.

"Over the course of our marriage, our values have naturally meshed. . . . we have ended up with a pretty similar worldview."
No one agrees on everything 100%. There will be disagreements. People learn and grow and change their opinions. I assume she adopted his position on the issue, and not the other way around (or he wouldn't be writing for that publication).
Hmm. This reads like the tortured rationalizations of a man who doesn’t realize he has a very painful and expensive divorce in his future.
Amen.

Abortion is MURDER!
Pretty sure Adam went over to Tessa’s side.
I’m a very traditional woman who, on the day I married, vowed to be faithful to my husband until death us do part. I meant it and have kept that vow through thick and thin over 30 years. My husband is the love of my life.
I see fidelity as one of the cornerstones of marriage.
There are lots of young people out there now who think open marriages are the “in thing.”
I see it as grounds for divorce.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, something that used to be considered as a given now must be confirmed beforehand.
Sad, isn’t it?
Doesn’t sound like this applies to the couple under consideration. Apprently neither has come to looking at things from God’s point of view. Both need to see that each is walking the path that leads to eternal pain and loneliness, not as children of God.
Yeh, just what I’d want to listen to across the dinner table everynight. ๐
