With increasing polarization in the U.S., political discussions between friends and family members from different parties can be fraught. But how do these political factors influence people’s love lives? We know little about how often people in romantic relationships have political disagreements and whether political differences affect couples’ happiness, or whether some couples navigate these differences better than others.
To address these questions, we surveyed over 4,000 people in the U.S., including more than 500 couples. Political differences in our large sample of couples were relatively rare: Only about 23% of couples belonged to different parties, and fewer than 8% were made up of one Democrat and one Republican. Other measures of political agreement, such as asking people to rate themselves on how conservative or liberal they are, showed a similar pattern–most couples tend to agree about politics.
For the few people who do end up with a partner who has different political beliefs, does this spell disaster for their relationship?

Personally, I cannot imagine what it would be like to try to coexist with a raging liberal in the same household on a daily basis. I am pretty sure I would not be able to do it, much less to love and respect the person.
Ditch the b*tch.
Answer is “yes” if “he” is a RINO.

Most likely they would shut YOU out.
My own sister hasn’t talked to me since november...
Studies continue to show that liberalism and mental illness are strongly correlated. For example, over 50% of liberal women in the US between the ages of 20-30 report that they have been diagnosed with a mental issue. If you want to date crazy, liberal women are probably the way to go - problem is they also score low on the hotness scale.
How original.
My sister has talked to me, but puts multiple daily posts on her FB page, clearly expressing her anger at anyone who helped Trump to be elected. Then 4 more of my siblings, as well as a few cousins (among others) all “like” and comment on her many posts. It is clear that I am seen by all of them as some kind of evil monster, as well as STUPID (a word frequently used against all Trump supporters).
“Sleeping With the Enemy” Part 2.
aka “Taming Of The Shrew”.
Yes! The Apprentice just debuted on Amazon. First season. Watch it with your Democrat. 2004.
Yes, if he completely caves and agrees to be her doormat.
Which happens all the time, because there is no such thing as sexual equality. Women have a 100% monopoly on “female body parts.”
Hes a complete moron for his choice.
In my private life my wife and I pretty much agree
to do what is best for us.
In my extended family we have a rule. no politics!
“I’m sure you hate the bastard/bitch, I don’t care
what you think, hand me a beer, and enjoy
the day!”
Is a very common phrase in my family.
And if he doesn’t do whatever it takes to preserve the relationship, she gets the kids and the house, and he gets to sleep in his car. If she doesn’t get the car, too.
‘ Women have a 100% monopoly on “female body parts.”’
Um, what?
An unavoidable disaster just waiting to happen...
The problem has increased as government has taken over more and more of our lives. You would think a moderate Democrat baby boomer in the 1970’s would be a moderate Republican now. But no, most of them are raging liberals. It is like mommy and daddy voted Democrat, so I have to as well because they take care of the little people. They are either retarded or evil, neither of which lend themselves to good relationship unless two retards get together.
As long as she does what she’s damn well told
Now, make me a damn sammich woman
I couldn’t do it. I wonder how Carville’s wife does it?
If you want the wife to key your Tesla daily until death do you part, I guess its alright.
