When Politics Comes Home: How Couples Who Vote Differently Cope

A magazine feature about couples and family members who vote differently in the 2026 elections. Three families share how they handle political arguments in their living rooms, and whether closeness can survive political divides.

An i24NEWS magazine feature examines how couples and family members navigate political differences at home ahead of the 2026 elections. The article presents three families where partners vote differently: Natalie Geva and her husband, each voting for a different bloc; Liat Arkos from Netivot, who grew up in a Likud home and now votes for Bennett. The piece asks how to manage the conversation when it heats up—whether to argue it out, change the subject, or agree not to discuss politics at all. The central message is that despite disagreements, the family core matters more than the ballot box.
