Rumi›The spiritual life — what it means to practice
When couples grow in different spiritual directions
“My husband and I have been doing morning meditation together for three years and it's been the foundation of our relationship, but lately we're in completely different places spiritually and sitting together feels forced and awkward. He's going deeper into traditional Buddhist practice while I'm drawn to something more eclectic and personal, and we both feel like we're losing something sacred we built together.”
The deeper question
The spiritual practices that once united them are becoming a source of distance as their individual paths diverge.
Concept: spiritual evolution
