When couples lose their faith at different paces

My husband and I both grew up religious and we've been quietly losing our faith at different speeds and in different ways but we keep going through the motions together without talking about what's actually happening to us. We're afraid that if we say it out loud we'll discover we've become strangers to each other.

What we've seen

The shared foundation of belief that once united you is shifting beneath both your feet, but the fear of discovering how far apart you've drifted keeps you from having the conversation that might actually bring you closer.
