Quote:Just my thoughts.

You disagreed but then basically stated that you and your husband are very much alike in your beliefs.

While you may differ slightly you aren't far away from each other.

 

My point was that a far left and a far right wouldn't or shouldn't get married because of just those reasons.

Your moral compass may be directed by your faith but not everyone is a Christian, or a Jew or a Muslim... some people's moral compass is set by the politics or the social environment they grew up around..

If you share in a religion.. you're obviously pretty close to the same base.

 

I have no religion, rather I'm agnostic... So I don't think I could marry someone who goes to church every Sunday and says their prayers every night. And likewise they wouldn't feel fully connected to me.

I couldn't be with someone who wants to abolish abortion or interfere with people's rights to marry.

On the same note... I couldn't marry someone who thinks our current welfare system works or thinks we can tax our way out of debt or into free healthcare.

 

Maybe it's me....but I've dated girls that fit both those scenarios and knew very quickly that having moral views so different, having kids and being married just seemed like a terrible idea.

 

I ended up with one much more close to center... and totally not into politics so we never have to argue over Trump lol
