When couples develop different meditation approaches and drift apart spiritually

My wife and I have been meditating together for three years but lately she's been drawn to more traditional mindfulness while I'm exploring concentration practices and we're starting to feel like we're on completely different spiritual paths. We used to share this space so naturally and now our sits together feel forced and I'm worried we're losing something important between us.
