Couples & Politics

Marriage is not always bliss and the divorce rate in America is getting higher by the minute. The usual differences in Divorce Courts is irreconcilable differences and the loss  of mutual understanding. It is not an easy task to continue loving your spouse when you are no longer in agreement with each other or there is already lack of respect and love. Love is not about who’s dominating who or who’s right and wrong but it’s about being selfless.  Reconciliation and forgiveness is better than being smart in the area of politics. If you allow politics to destroy your marriage then your spouse is never your priority. Learn to let go and to give way to the rights of the other. Love is not a war zone. It’s a give and take process and consistency in forgiving, loving and understanding one another’s faults and failures are the primary goals. On the contrary, there are various ways to solve this dilemma and herein are the enumeration of how to attain a loving relationship despite differences in political views.

1.     Respect is a Sign of Maturity and Intellect. Some people become violent when their family and friends do not listen to their choice of politicians to vote. Some people burn bridges when a person disagrees with them. Remember that respect begets respect.

2.     Be Mindful of Other People’s Opinions. We are each entitled to our own individuality and we cannot dominate another. A smart person will never bully others into believing his own stand. Persuasion and action is the key in being understood and followed.

3.     Believing in Your Spouse’s Principles is an Indication of Genuine Love. The top priority in a marriage is to make it last. If there are issues that cause damages or distance between the partners then they should stop forcing their own stand for the sake of the marriage. This will help make the marriage last until death.

Respecting one another’s views is a great way to uphold maturity and fair play. Men and women who are more calm and wiser have the tendency to succeed more in life as opposed to people who are short-tempered, irrational and aggressively wrong in their views. Wouldn’t it be better if couples move forward through respect and kindness rather than get on each other’s throats. How can progress and improvements be made if they are fighting all the time by reason of their political views. What achievements and accomplishments could be made in the midst of chaos and war inside the home. Sometimes being silent is better than being right to keep the peace within the household and the one who is more giving and thoughtful of the other’s welfare is the one that is wiser and more mature. So if you truly love your partner, you wouldn’t fight over who’s a better president and even throw household items at one another just to get a point across. Fighting over politics is one silly excuse to destroy a relationship. It will never be right.
