When couples struggle to balance divine love and human love

My partner and I both feel called to surrender everything to the Divine, but we keep getting caught between our devotion to God and our devotion to each other. When one of us is deep in spiritual practice, the other feels abandoned, and when we focus on our relationship, we both feel like we're betraying our path to the Beloved.

What we've seen
