What will you do if your partner’s political views are not like yours? How will you keep arguments and conflicts arising from differences of opinion away from your relationship?
It has been believed that women are not interested in politics, but as women are getting educated, they are taking interest in politics along with other issues.
In such a situation, the problem arises when there is disagreement between the husband and wife under the same roof on any political issue, party or ideology.
This disagreement sometimes becomes the cause of conflict. Experts say that this problem can be solved through healthy communication and intelligent efforts.
Do not Suppress Things in your Heart.
Many times, while talking to our partner, we keep our disagreements in mind after listening to their political, family, or social views.
At such a time, it is important to express one’s thoughts freely, because suppressed thoughts turn into a volcanic mountain of bitterness. When this volcano erupts, its impact also falls on the relationship.
Suman Verma from Lucknow says, “Living with someone with different political views is not a problem. Politics is an emotional affair for Indians, but having different political views is not necessarily a negative thing.
Of course, it will cause a bit of ‘bump’, but I would rather not do that to the person I love.”
Respect for Thoughts:
Small things often turn into fights, so respect each other’s thoughts and viewpoints, and do not put someone down for their views. Everyone can freely have different views and they should be respected.
Anuradha Mishra from Delhi says, “I can make a life partner of someone with different political views. To be a good partner, I have to respect his opinion, even when I don’t agree with him.
Is this the beauty of relationships? Isn’t it? One’s morals and personal values are different from one’s political views. If the two get mixed up and we debate disagreements, then obviously things won’t work.”
Misconception and Sarcasm:
Do not make hasty assumptions in the conversation without listening or understanding the whole thing. Listen to the whole thing with patience, understand it and only then reach a conclusion.
Many times, we perceive things according to the assumptions we make. The relationship gets spoiled only when we start taunting each other about everything.
But it is important to accept your partner’s ideas. Unless you understand that he also has his own ideology, tension will remain in the relationship.
It is not a big deal to have differences of opinion, but we never know when these differences turn into differences of opinion. Don’t bring your ego into the middle of a fight or argument.
This complicates the matter further. Dragging things around only creates bitterness and it increases day by day.
Neutrality in Thoughts is Wrong
Be it any partner, male or female, neutrality in thoughts is wrong. We should learn to respect each other’s views. The male partner should gladly welcome the political ideology of women.
Still, women’s participation in politics is very low. In such a situation, if women are taking an interest in politics, then it should be a welcome thing.
