...Democrat) unequally yoked? And outside the will of God? What does the Bible say?

People who like pepperoni best are unequally yoked with Hawaiian pizza lovers? You need to back up. It's ok for married people to disagree about some things.

The bible is clearly in favor of the Democrat.

yes, they are unequally yoked. Because, you have someone who "claims" to be a Christian, yet supports killing innocent children, evolution, homosexuality, etc? These beliefs are not in line with the Christian worldview. These belong to the atheistic worldview.

Some couples may not take political affiliation too serious to get along.

what if the Democrat was Black? Does your faith think that is wrong? What if.... one was a guy named Hillary?

you shouldn't mix politics with religion, it makes the religion dirty...

I see some people think that this is a silly question, but I think it has merit. For example, Dems and Repubs have different stances on abortion typically - a very hot issue for Christians, usually. I don't know what the Bible would say or if it's outside the will of God, but it could be something to talk about seriously.

The bible says not to be yoked together with unbelievers. Unbelief refers to not believing in God. I don't think that whether they are democrat or republican has much to do with it. Who we vote for should depend on their values...or that is what I believe. It is sad but most politicians don't have many values and will say anything to get elected. Of course, this is just my opinion. God bless.

No definitely not. to be a Christian is to take a spiritual stance. to be republican or democrat is to take a political stance. the two dont mix.
