I don't think it really matters, as long as they agree to disagree.

No reason why they should. It makes for some interesting conversations if they do not SORRY BUTTON STUCK

It don't think it's necessary for a relationship to be stable. Having a parter who concurs with you on such matters is nice, but if two people are in love and are willing to agree to disagree then there should be no problem.
-
I think that it makes things a little easier if they agree on the big issues. I honestly don't think I could be with someone who would vote against a woman's right to abortions, or gay marriage, or something like that... but if he thinks that we should raise the local sales tax to fund a road project, and I don't, I don't think it's going to cause any problems :)

To some extent, yes. They don't need to share views on everything, however on some big topics I think it might be necessary to share the same political view. This would of course depend on how much politics mattered to each person in the relationship.
-
One can say; thinking the same means both are on the same frequency and therefore more compatible.>thus sucsesful But then again, having different solutions to the same problem means both have a different way of thinking; they follow a different path. So together they can be more creative, and have more redundancy in case one thinking pattern leads nowhere.>thus sucsesful

nahh it could help tho.. ;] (wink)
-
Not neccesarily. One just need to keep an open mind and listen what the significant other has to say. It helps to think about their opinions and not to oppose straight away. That's what is important.
-
It helps but there are good examples of exceptions. But statistically it helps.
-
NO

I say that if couples shared the same view on everything things wouldn't be that interesting in relationships.
-
Not necessarily. I don't think my husband and I have voted the same in decades. We each vote our conscience and the fact that it hasn't been problematic shows we respect each other.
-
Maybe not exactly the same views, but (at least in my parent's house) political views were as deeply held as religious beliefs. I'm not sure I could have married my husband if his political or religious convictions were radically different from mine. I guess if politcs isn't that important to you it wouldn't matter as much.
-
I don't see any reason why they should share the same political views. They're a couple, yet they're two individuals with the right to have different perspectives towards politics.
-
Not necessarily. I think it would be tough to go out with someone who had radically different political views from you, but so long as you are able to have good discussions (not arguments!) on this type of topic there is no reason you should have identical views on everything. In fact, this might make the relationship a little dull...
-
Just because you become a couple does not mean you have to start thinking as one unit. My husband and I share a lot of the same views but I don't love him less when we disagree.
-
In a perfect world, it would be nice and convenient! But, me and mine do not! (I don't know about interesting conversations, we just try not to get huffy and argue about our different opinions for this topic!) Of course...we often cancel each other's votes right out! (lucky for me...I'm much more politically active than she is...yuck yuck yuck!)
-
no, debates are fun.
-
no. my parents don't and they get on just fine
