Does your spouse support the same political party as you?

I am curious about this question!

We joke about offsetting each other's votes each election, though on many things we have similar beliefs.

My husband was Republican to the core. I am much closer to being a Libertarian although I am not pedantic about it. We were both registered as Democrats for reasons I've explained several times. We actually agreed on more things than we disagreed on. Our disagreements were centered around his ever growing Political Correctness and complete unwillingness to have any discussion at all with me or anyone else when he knew there was disagreement.

I didn't vote because none of the options covers me.
Neither me nor my wife support any political parties. Both of us are on our own and are not tied to any party. Sometimes we are supporting this, sometimes that. Our support goes to the one that we think is correct on that specific time and problem.
There's been a lot of occasions that we were supporting government on a specific case, but supporting the opposite party at the same time for another case.

If it matters maybe I should also add that I don't remember us supporting different parties for the same case or at the same period of time.
If it makes sense.

Here in the USA we have limited choices sometimes. Often, my wife and I support the same candidate, but sometimes we find that we are on opposite sides. I didn't pick any of the settings because in NO case do we vote along party lines. We consider the candidates as good or bad. Which is why we voted for a Republican governor a few years ago and a Democrat governor more recently.

In my own community it has been suggested from time to time that I stand for public office. My response is always the same.
