I'm still playing around with the topic of political affiliation and marriage. I came across an interesting article on Match.com. They found that Republicans and Democrats have different priorities in the characteristics that they are looking for in partner.

“They are really looking for different things,” says Dr. Fisher. In a nutshell, Republicans want matches from similar backgrounds (i.e., the same religion and/or ethnic group, share the same basic set of values and have similar attitudes about money). Democrats are significantly more likely to claim their “must-haves” for a partner include: being funny, independent, having a similar level of education/communication skills, and being comfortable with his or her sexuality. “This speaks to core values, priorities, and goals in life,” says Dr. Fisher. “And those ‘must-haves’ are not going to change.”
