Dude, seriously? Embrace the differences and use it to your advantage.

Example: One night, you go out together to a nice restaurant. Get with the waiter. Have him withhold half of her food and explain that he gave it to a homeless man outside who needed it more than she did.

Fun for all!

FIFY

My wife was kind of like that when we met. She was still in school and hadn't had that nice little reality check yet.

Got a job and got her first real good paycheck (she was bartender before so lots of cash ) and saw how much was sucked out. I think she might be more ancap than me now

No.

Of course, so long as they share my view that political beliefs do not define one as a person, that all people are entitled to be treated with respect and civility, that not agreeing on everything is normal and totally ok, and that associating with people you disagree with does not make you a bad person.

A solid ying/yang is a very important thing in a marriage because it allows the unit to become greater than the sum of its parts. It means the partners balance each other, compliment their strengths, and mitigate their weaknesses.

My issue with many liberal women I encounter in the dating pool is a lack of respect for anyone who has opinions different from them. In their eyes, disagreement makes you a bad person, or worse, subhuman, a monster. They don't believe monsters to be entitled to respect or even any shred of decency. It is a form of bigotry that many SJW's are afflicted with.

I go out of my way to be polite, courteous, and generous towards everyone. In real life, I don't advertise my beliefs, but instead take the Devil's Advocate position. I do so because I like to push people to explain why they believe in something. I like to learn what motivates people, what drives them, from where the locus of their political identity was generated. It helps me to learn more about people's upbringing and whether their opinions come from a place of wanting, envy, desperation, entitlement, opportunity, hatred, biases, compassion, etc.

For me, this comes from a place of deep-seated respect for all people and all mankind. I don't believe that anyone is truly illogical. I think that everyone has their own logic because we are all a product of our experiences which shape and interpret the data which our senses take in. Because everyone is logical, everyone's opinion is valid, even if it is based on falsehood. The key is not to judge them as a bad person due to their repetition of a falsehood, but to identify the experience which is causing their mind to arrive at the false opinion and introduce a new experience that will cause them to discard that previous way of thinking and their logic to instead adopt the new, accurate premise.

As long as relationships are founded on respect, it does not matter to me whether my spouse is prochoice, pro welfare state, or even pro-censureship. The key is that she respect that me not sharing her beliefs isn't a character flaw.

If she keeps her mouth sht, fuk me, feed me, and puts me to bed

i'm married to a... compassionate conservative/liberal?

she's pro-life AF, but very aware of "justice" issues.

she's a bit of a feminist, but not so much that it's unbearable. Definitely not 3rd wave feminism. When my kids asked about women's world cup, somehow it came up that they got beat by a bunch of 15 year old boys and i expected to get something thrown at me, but she agreed.

we don't agree on immigration or race issues very much. we volunteer with black youths somewhat regularly and she's more of a "these guys just need love and for the world to understand that they don't have a family life. that's why they get arrested for shoplifting food at 13 years old" and i'm more of a "look guys, you see how shitty life is without a good family? don't make the same mistakes your dad did. get a job. get married. then have babies and be there for them." We both want the same thing, but have very different approaches to getting there.

Could I prioritize love over someone's hypothetical ideals of decisions they'll never likely be making? Yes, yes I could.

Not hardcore SJW psycho, but more Bernie Sanders redistribution type?

Absolutely no patriotism whatsoever. Police are wrong in every shooting. Military industrial complex yadayada. Bill Maher type bullshite.

Knows Hillary was evil but won’t support our president. Bases all political beliefs purely on emotion and what the MSM tells her to believe.

Being doing it for 10 years. Don’t know if I can keep going.

I still can't figure out what attracts you to someone who is so polar opposite in thinking unless it is purely physical attraction. In this case the relationship was doomed from the start.

No, I would have no respect for her political ideology and that would eventually translate to a loss of respect for her and the breakdown of our relationship. If she was truly an old style blue dog Democrats, perhaps but those don’t exist anymore and we are basically left with socialist, liberal, progressive and anti American, SJW democrats. Could not deal with that day in, day out.
