I used to have this edition. The illustrations are by Ted Nazmith, right? I lent it to a friend who disappeared off the face of the Earth though

my longest/healthiest relationship was with someone who was a libertarian from a rural catholic family. The tension and disagreement definitely fueled the passion, but we were both capable of debating without having a fight or someone's feelings getting hurt. I think ideology can sometimes obscure people's values. Our values were obviously essentially the same or we wouldn't have been able to have a healthy, respectful relationship. Our ideas about how to achieve those values were just informed by different cultures and different life experiences.
tl;dr: don't worry about it, it can be good to date someone who is different from yourself and ideological affiliation/worldview is sometimes not as important as interpersonal chemistry
