I am sorry but i think it it would be a tiring relationship. I can not imagine myself with someone who is not open minded for example and i can not compromise...

RedRose (got headache)

I think it depends on the politcal issue you are discussing and what that issue means to you.

I take it you mean A couple....
You will find that as a couple , even if you agree on basic things there will be times when you will differ on issues ...that's healthy & to be expected .

Having a different view in politics over here isn't unusual & because there isn't the same level of intensity doesn't usually result in bitterness ....neither it should!

It is simply a clash of opinions ...I guess because of the situation in Lebanon , the stakes are higher , the passions stronger , the feelings deeper....that makes it a lot harder !

I'm living proof that you can.

There are days where he says stuff and I want to drive a knife through his heart, Oh that's right...that's not usually about politics.

No, the truth is that we agreed to disagree and we rarely discuss politics, but when we do it's civilized, we just take each other's perspective.

yes cause I'm pretty sure that they wont be talking politics as soon as they wake up all the way until they fall to sleep. just cause you're in to politics doesn't mean that's all you talk about. and its stupid to brake up because they vote for different presidents (that's a bit extreme, but you get my point). if something like that will tear them apart than they didn't have a steady relationship together in the first place.

they agree to mutually not discuss politics. I would think that all would agree that having a good friendship is more important than winning a political argument, no?

It's ok to have different views on politics and religion and loads of stuff. But as soon as one of them become a bit of a fanatic, then it will start becoming a problem. In this period, when fanaticism is being 'planted' in the hearts of people, it is becoming very difficult to accept others who hold different views, especially that nowadays political orientations are completely opposites.

Pinky-pink!
Of course a couple ('bir cift', not 'iki ciftler') can get along even though they have different political views. In fact, it shows that you are a well rounded couple, that is healthy for both of you. It can be a real strength in a relationship to have different opinions and perspectives, you will get more out of everything that way. It is important for both of you to listen and respect the other's point of view and not to take it as a personal challenge. It would be boring if you were both the same.
If your partner insist that you think like he does when it comes to politics, he is fighting a losing battle, I don't know much about you but the little I know tells me that you won't take that.

I basically have to agree with " Just Jamess "...

Unfortunately, I have witnessed cases in beirut where couples have experienced complications (because they are from 2different political-party backgrounds....I even witnessed a couple split up during the wedding cerimony because his parents were Sunni and her's are Shia...they got into an argument in the last minute about which faction the Sheikh should be from....and the girl's parents insisted on a Shia one...so forth and so forth; you get the point...

At the end of the day, if neither of the couple are in an extreem...and if the couple get along with mostly everything else, politics (as "Just James" mentioned) is not the first thing we talk about when we get up in the morning nor is it the last thing we talk about before hitting the lights at night and stuff ;p

And if they truly respect each other...they should be able to enjoy the different perspectives that the other partner brings to the table :-)

marines_sweetie

yes i do

jad f

yes, very possible. your love life should be very secured and not affected byt anything that's out of the love scope. However, you will have arguments, might fight :) but that should not affect your love relation.

ANGELO [my 3 passions]

as long as they keep the politics outside the bedroom .. and better the whole household .. then it's possible .. they can discuss politics in groups and not fight over it at home ..

I like the first two answers. Sure, why not? Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife. He is a Republican, and his wife is from he Kenedy family, thats as Democrat as anyone would get!

snowe_ball3

not sure if politics would have a difference unless the couple are very nosy or one hates politics

iran (persia)

yes we CAN have a healthy relationship...

FEETIE!!

It depends on how they react to differences? Mrs. Feetie and I disagree on many religious and politcal issues but we make it work.

Mamadou

I agree with my friend Istanbulbogazi.

It's better having same views about politics.

For example,I would never accept to have a relation with stupid or racist people.

By the way, I just want to say that I support Lebanon and Turkey, so there is no problem for me to date with a Turkish or an Arab woman.

Edit : a thumb down ? For what? For saying I support Lebanon and Turkey? Thank you, poor racist troll!
