LOL...just like I told Telly last night, I never discuss politics (or religion) with friends.

hehehe i am at a point in my life where i really don't care what people think of my views. I have found this is only one of the few things I have total control over. and the way i figure it...if you can't be my friend because of how i vote or how i pray, then you weren't the type of friend i want.

Don't be a hater!! LOL I love all ya liberals! hehehehe

This was cool! Of course, my fiance is so far authoritarian right that I am considering more pre-marriage counselling.... :faint:

I'm hanging closest to Ghandi...but am still a little further right than that. The epitome of a "moderate"

If James Carville and Mary Matlin can be married, then I am sure you and your fiance can make it work.

Note: Mary Matlin ran George Bush Sr's campaign in 1992 and James Carville ran the campaign of then Governor (and presidential candidate) Bill Clinton.

If James Carville and Mary Matlin can be married, then I am sure you and your fiance can make it work.

I grew up down the street from James Carville! But you're right, excellent example of opposites attract

If James Carville and Mary Matlin can be married, then I am sure you and your fiance can make it work.

</p>THAT is one marriage I'll never understand! Totally incomprehensible.

Same section as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and The Dalai Lama.

Peace!!

THAT is one marriage I'll never understand! Totally incomprehensible.

Honestly if DH didn't have the same views, I think I'd kill him in his sleep :heh: LOL We bicker over politics as it is, and we are damn near exactly the same in thinking. lol

I make Ghandi look like a fascist.

For you who see a lot of political differences between you and spouse, do you know your Jung/Myers-Briggs/Keirsey type? If not, it's a way to determine and categorize your personality preferences (that's the long story short version). I deal with it extensively. Take a little online test (fairly accurate, this is a decent one) and compare your results. It's often true that opposites attract. If you're interested, shoot me your results and I can tell you much more about it than the site does.

Our pastor had us take these tests before we started premarital counselling with him. It was quite interesting.

While I do agree that opposites attract I think a base or core similarity is essential for raising a family. Just because you need to have a continuity in your rules and guidelines and how the household is setup.

Dh and I are VERY opposite in personality. He is shy, quiet, reserved, strong willed, antisocial, etc. I am not LOL but our core fundamentals are very similar. we have the same religious faith, believe kids should be raised the same way, believe the roles in the household are set and firm, feel the same about dicipline, and have the same goals for our future. We also made sure that this was all agreed on and understood before getting married. It was so important to us because we see more and more couples around us getting married now days with absolutely no regard for how well they are going to get along when the going gets tough.
