When your adult child chooses celibacy and parents disagree on how to respond

My adult daughter announced she's choosing celibacy as a permanent spiritual commitment and while I want to be supportive, my husband and I keep having tense conversations about whether to voice our concerns about her future happiness and we're not even sure what we're really worried about.

What we've seen

Parents are discovering that their child's spiritual choice has become a mirror for their own unexamined assumptions about fulfillment and love.
