I’m not sure how in this past presidential election, a husband and wife holding opposite views could make very happy bedfellows.  This election has encompassed many issues that have grabbed many by their core.  Their christian values, their feminine views, their racial opinions not to mention the worries of health care and unemployment.

Through this distasteful and upsetting battle of candidates and platforms, I realized that my mother’s words, “the more you have in common the easier the marriage will be,” proved so true to me.

Falling in love doesn’t always find the easiest path but sharing the same faith and following the Greatest Commandments of loving God and Your Neighbor as Yourself have proved to be a great foundation in this marriage.
