When couples find themselves in different places spiritually within the same community

My husband and I joined a new church together after years of spiritual wandering but now that we're there, we're responding to it completely differently - he's found community and certainty while I'm feeling more questions than answers, and we don't know how to navigate staying or leaving when we're in such different places. What brought us together spiritually is now highlighting how differently we process doubt and faith.
