Can Relationships Survive Political Differences? Tips for Couples


Listen Later

Has your relationship felt heavier lately? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re tackling the rising tension many couples are facing, especially during this emotionally charged election season. Whether you’re in a marriage, co-parenting partnership, or navigating family and friendships, political conversations are starting to feel like landmines.

I’m not here to tell you who to vote for—I’m here to help you protect your relationship while honoring your values, even when you and your partner see the world differently.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why political talk feels so personal (spoiler: it’s not just about policies)

  • How mismatched views can trigger identity-level conflict in relationships

  • The 3 most common tension patterns couples fall into—and how to shift them

  • Why your home needs to be a “safe landing place” now more than ever

  • Encouragement to turn toward each other instead of away—even when you disagree

This is real-talk, empathy, and empowerment—the things that make me your big sister voice in modern parenting and relationships. If you’re wondering how to keep your connection strong through disagreement—and even grow because of it—this episode is for you.
