    DH is a Republican and I'm a Democrat, although we still agree on most issues.

    My husband isn't a citizen, so can't vote. But yes, I would say we're both fairly liberal. As for who he would vote for... he knows how much I love Hillary, so I'm not sure he would admit to wanting to vote Bernie!

    I"m a pretty vocal Democrat, he's a uninterested Republican. We can get pretty heated if/when we discuss politics. I feel like he he can be vocal for someone who is uneducated on what is going on (not in a mean way, he's a very smart man, he just doesn't follow politics/look into stuff.) Nothing drives me more nuts than when someone will fight politics but only reads the headlines and does no research We butt heads! ha

    Yes, we are both members of the same political party. Our politics is also tied to our basic moral code and beliefs, so I would have a hard time marrying someone who vastly differed politically for the same reason I would have a hard time marrying someone who was really religious (I'm not).

    I would not, and did not, date a man who wasn’t pro-choice. That’s a deal-breaker for me.

    For the most part. We are both "unenrolled" according to NY state law meaning that we are not members of a political party, although I tend to vote Democratic since there are not other options that reflect my political leanings. DH is much more liberal now than when we met. I would consider him center-left especially with his pro-business leanings. We are both considering becoming Democrats since we disenfranchise ourselves in local politics by not having party affiliations because we can't vote in primaries and live in such a Democrat dominated city .

    Well most of the time we are both registered as Democrats. I vote more conservatively on local elections and liberally for national elections. I just switched my registration to R for this election, mostly so I could vote for my preferred state senate candidate. But honestly, when DH talks about his political opinions, he is absolutely not a democrat. But he mostly doesn't vote so....

    We are both registered independent/unenrolled. DH is pretty much Dem though. I don't agree with either party really but usually vote Democrats because I have bigger issues with the Republicans. So we normally vote the same but don't necessarily agree on all the issues.

    I don't think either of us are 100% aligned with one political party. I would say that we lean more towards one party by nature. The most important thing for us is that we share the same faith and all our worldviews form/stem from our faith first and foremost.

    DH grew up in a Republican family, but both of us are more moderate. We're fiscally conservative, socially liberal; and we don't align 100% to any party.

    DH describes himself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, but makes a point not to call himself Republican. I have always aligned myself with the Democrats. DH has definitely become more liberal since we have been married.
