If me and my spouse vote for opposite candidates would it be the same if we just didn’t vote?

If we’re talking strictly will it effect the vote tally in a race where there’s essentially two major candidates, like the presidency, then no. Both of you not casting one vote on each side is the same as casting one vote on each side. You aren’t improving or decreasing either candidates odds of winning.
Obviously it’s a lot more complicated if it’s a primary and there’s multiple candidates and delegates are apportioned.
And of course, there’s lots of other really important things to vote for besides the president.
