A couples therapist recommends three rules for couples experiencing political disagreements ahead of the elections: setting boundaries for conversation, separating voting from personality, and avoiding recruiting family against the partner.

Ahead of the elections in Israel, couples therapist Dr. Anna Alton offers three rules for couples experiencing political disagreements. The first rule: set boundaries for political conversation in advance, including times without phones and news. The second: agree to disagree, and not turn voting into a personality judgment. The third: avoid recruiting family and friends against the partner after an argument. Alton warns against echo chambers on social media and recommends approaching conversations with curiosity. The article is based on an American study according to which more than a third of respondents ended a relationship due to political disagreements.
