16 Women Got Real About What It's Like Dating Conservative Men

3.

“Not only dated but married one. To clarify, he does not own anything with Trump’s name on it. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science, minored in philosophy, spent five years as an enlisted Marine, and is a police officer.”

“There are absolutely things we will forever disagree on, like Obamacare and abortion. We agree on some things, and he’s willing to listen and hear my opinions when we don’t because his education and life experience taught him to think critically.

But there are also benefits to a *rational* conservative man. He wants to be a provider for my future family and me. I’m a strong-willed, stubborn, opinionated, deeply passionate woman most men couldn’t handle; I know, I checked. It took a big, strong Marine to handle and satisfy me. Liberal guys never really did that on dates. I got bored with them very quickly. We make it work by not letting politics be the center of our marriage because there’s so much more to life than politics and division, so we centered our marriage on faith because it’s something we want to be united in.”
