When couple conflicts affect shared spiritual leadership

My husband and I lead a small prayer group together but lately we've been having personal conflicts that are bleeding into the group dynamic and people are starting to notice. We don't know how to separate our marriage issues from our spiritual leadership and we're worried we're damaging something that means a lot to other people too.
