When couples who bonded through shared trauma face healing and growth

My partner and I met in our grief support group and now we're building a life together, but sometimes I think we're more comfortable with each other's brokenness than with each other's healing, and I don't know if what we have can survive us actually getting better. We're both changing and we don't know if we're changing in the same direction.
