Are you truly “one flesh” and vote together across the ballot, or do you retain an individual sense of preference, even if your respective candidates are fundamentally opposed to each other?

While I am generally apolitical in all things, my default philosophies lean me toward one party. However, I’ve been less than impressed with their campaign and candidates this time around. My wife is firmly voting for the other party down the ballot. Is it better to stay with my personal and historical traditions despite my distaste for the specific candidate in this election, or to maintain marital unity with my wife and vote against my default inclinations?
