As petty and somehow funny as this sounds, some spouses go to some strange extremes to ensure that their partner does not vote for the ‘wrong’ side.

Posting up this paraphernalia for some couples is to make it clear to their spouses of what side they support.

There are people out there that have opted out of their marriages and relationships simply because their love for politics was seemingly stronger than that within their relationships.

In extreme cases some spouses have become violent towards their partners because of them supporting the rival political party.
This could lead to a lot of spouses, in most cases women, from revealing who they support during elections.
5.Trash talk about what political side they support
Trash talk is not only reserved for sports.
Politically divided couples engage in a lot of trash talk especially when they support separate political sides.
