My wife is Mormon, I am religiously-challenged (I believe in spirituality, but I don't believe in any practiced/organized religion [not sure what the term would be for what I am]).

My wife participates in several Mormon things from home teaching to just going to church. She is active in our churches community. I don't pray, or even close my eyes and give a courtesy "Amen" when our home teachers are over, but I am not totally disrespectful either. I let them have their moment and keep my self quiet. I curse quite a bit (and am constantly at battle with making sure my kids know when it is and isn't appropriate), and my wife has let a profanity out once in a while herself. I am the stay at home parent between the both of us.

My wife takes the kids to church, but I stay at home on Sundays and watch football or play games; it's my day off. She has been known to skip church though if she isn't particularly feeling up to going. Since she is the working parent, sometimes she just wants to nap on Sundays.

We have never had a disagreement about anything politics or religion related. She accepts me for being anti-religious, and I give her her needs and time for doing whatever Mormony things she wants to do. I generally don't give a rat's ass about anything politics related. I see the President as mostly just a figurehead for our country, and unless we get some tyrannical force in office, I doubt I will notice much of a change in my daily life. I am somewhat anti-social, so I don't go out to parties or communal activities. My wife is more of the social butterfly though. She tends to speak on behalf of both of us when needed.

We both put family first though. Whatever is needed to best benefit our family and it's development. Thus far, religion and politics have had zero impact on it.

We have been married 10 years, and not a single hiccup. Our fights that we have had usually revolve around whether or not we are spending enough time with each other.
