When spiritual practice interferes with loving someone through darkness

My wife and I both meditate and read spiritual books about love, but when her depression gets bad I catch myself trying to fix her instead of just being present, and we end up in this cycle where my spiritual ego gets in the way of actually loving her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to be spiritually evolved can become another form of resistance to the raw vulnerability that love actually requires.
