Political views

Love Couple

This may sound like a bland and unromantic to some, but the truth is that people tend to choose those as their life partners whose political views are similar. 

Research by Brian Grossman, PhD, communication expert and psychologist in Los Angeles has shown that this factor is actually more important than matching personality traits, similar religious beliefs and appearances in enabling a long relationship. 

It makes sense too, as it would be difficult to manage the entire life with someone whose political views do not match with yours.
