I understood that the easiest way to maintain our relationship would be to avoid any discussion of politics. But we talked and kept talking. We kept talking about children, husbands, our brothers, my next professional step, books, favorite TV shows and movies. My husband shushed me from time to time, and her husband cautioned her about taking a trip with me, but we kept talking. I have to do the work to understand her views, to share mine and to keep our relationship strong.
