Steve and Mia: Married couple have morphed into political rivals
Q: I put an Obama sign on our front yard and my husband yanked it up without asking me first. It made me so mad that I got in his face about it. He says he's right because having the Obama sign in front of a house we both own makes it look like he's in agreement.

I'll be really happy when this election is over. But I'm afraid that once it is, I'm not going to look at my husband the same again. He's aging so fast and all he wants to do is lie around in bed and watch Fox News. He's so negative. It turns me off.
Mia: Put the brakes on, girlfriend. You can't change him, so change yourself. Focus on what you used to love about the old geezer. Pull out some photos of the two of you when you were madly in love and he still had all his hair and teeth. Try to remember what it was you once liked about him.
Also, declare your bedroom a politics-free zone. So, move the TV to another room. (Just tell him Mia said to move it for the sake of your sex life.) Other couples with differing political views get along and you can, too.
Steve: Hey, it works for James Carville and Mary Matalin and there's no way your husband looks worse than Carville.
