Scenario

When lifestyle changes for environmental reasons strain relationships

My wife and I moved to a rural area to live more sustainably as part of our Islamic commitment to caring for creation, but the isolation and constant work of maintaining land organically has made us both stressed and snippy with each other. We never have fun together anymore and I'm starting to wonder if pursuing our environmental values is destroying our marriage.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The pursuit of righteous living has paradoxically diminished their capacity for joy and connection.
