[quote=Anonymous]I’m a DH.   Let me give an analogy to my own situation and why I disagree with the OP.

A few years ago, I started attending church again after some major personal life issues that threatened our marriage.   My wife is more or less an atheist, which is how I would have described myself before too.   I am very active in my church and love the community there.

Yes, in my heart, I would love it if my wife would go to church with me on Sunday.   It’s an important part of my life and it would be fantastic to share it with her.

But while she’s kind and supportive, it’s not her cup of tea and I am not going to force it on her.   If I begged and pleaded with her to go, she MIGHT do it but she would hate it and resent me.  I do know people at my church who drag their spouses there and it only seems to cause significant acrimony.   What’s the point?

You have to respect and love your spouse as an individual person, with different likes and interests, they aren’t a puppet for just whatever you want to do.   You love them because you love them.

Also, take a step back and realize just how much you are in the minority in terms of your political involvement.   1/3 of the country doesn’t even vote at all!   The number of people who are canvassing or phone banking is so tiny.

BTW, I am voting for Harris.
