BMWK POLL: Do You Discuss Politics In Your Marriage?

by Lamar Tyler

Yesterday on Facebook I saw a friendship meltdown because of a political rift. Time and time again I see this happen, someone posts a politically charged Facebook status and it’s on and popping from that point in. This got me to thinking what happens when this happens in a marriage? Ronnie and I see eye to eye on most political issues and on the ones we don’t I don’t feel the burning desire that I have to force my opinion upon her. What happens in your household?

What happens when you’re a Dem and he’s a Republican or worse he’s down with the…. Tea Party? Does this cause a rift in your relationship? Can you discuss political issues freely or are these topics off limits?
