When couples try to build spiritual practices together but create tension instead

My partner and I both work from home and we've been trying to meditate together in the mornings but we keep having this unspoken tension about who's 'doing it right' and whether the other person is actually present or just going through the motions. We started this to feel more connected but now it feels like another way we're judging each other.

What we've seen

Two people attempting shared contemplative practice are encountering the ego's need to perform spirituality rather than simply be present together.
