My husband and I do not completely agree politically. I would describe myself as center-right, he would describe himself as center-left. We did have a few heated moments during the 2020 election, but nothing that a good night of sleep couldn't fix.

It's possible to have a successful relationship with somebody who holds different political opinions. But it does take mutual respect, compassion and love.

My parents strongly disagree with me on the lockdowns. They see them as a necessary evil, whereas I am 100% against lockdowns. We don’t let the disagreement cloud our relationship though.

Husband and I agree on covid-related matters for the most part (I am bit more suspicious than he is of agendas that have hijacked the pandemic). And to be clear, we didn't come to blows over politics or anything, it was more like I was getting on a soap box more often than he wanted to hear it so he finally basically told me to shut up :-)

I can see why there’d be a disagreement with regards to soap boxes, haha. Yeah, there are opinions, and also how opinions are delivered.
