Politics. We just can't discuss it at all ever. I am liberal and he is conservative (he wanted to put Reagan stamps on our return envelopes).
We disagree about money every now and then. He doesn't understand why I like to shop but I've curbed my spending a little as a compromise. I still knock 10% off the amount whenever he asks me how much something was but I think he's caught on to that...
what faith to raise our kids. so... what he have decided (we don't have kids yet, so it's hypothetical) is that i will take them to church and he will teach them about everything else and we will let them decide for themselves.
When to have kids.. I would prefer having them earlier but I think he wants to wait a good decade before considering.
I will have to work on it, as there is no way I am risking not having them for the sake of a few years ;)
How often it is necessary to get a pedicure. Sounds silly, but really, we don't share a view on daily spending. We sort of "solved" this problem by keeping separate bank accounts plus we have a joint account that we each put an equal amount of money into each month. We use the joint to pay for all shared expenses - mortgage, utilities, home improvement, personal grooming that benefits the other person (i.e., waxing), groceries, eating out, vacations, etc., but pay for personal items - pedicures, clothes, our personal student loans, gifts for each other from our personal accounts. Once we have kids I think we will divert more of our personal funds to the joint account, but for now the system works really well. I should say that this system works for us because we are both professionals and had good salaries before we got married. We both make good money and make roughly the same amount (with $5,000/year).
@rosworms: We're in a similar situation.
We've agreed that I'll take the kids to church until they're 16, and we'll let them know they're free to choose for themselves.
Babies...
He wants them now...and I want at least 2 years before starting a family. He understands my position and is willing to wait, but if he has his way, we would be trying already!
Our biggest differnce is kid stuff. we have three kids between the two of us.He likes having his 2 kids in every single thing they want to do. He says we must support them. I say it's good for them to learn they can't have and do everything they want all the time! life isn't just about them!
we run non stop for their constant activites. I have my son in a couple things (can't have him watching their stuff and not let him do things too) which just adds to it and i'm not the type of person that enjoys that at all.
I like one activity per child a season thats local and I like having time at home and being able to do other things when we want. His kids have 2 to 3 things going on each usually and both do a travel sport too. I feel like I am always shoving quick foods down their throats and sitting on a bench.
sometimes we have little quality time together with the rest of our family. I am adjusting to it. he won't bend on this one. so giving it one more season to see how I feel.

In a perfect world you and your SO want all the same things but here in reality we don't. :)
What is something big (kids, marriage, travel, where to live) that the 2 of you didn't see eye to eye on?
How did you handle it? how did it work out?
