When couples find themselves on opposite sides politically while sharing the same faith

My husband and I used to vote the same way and pray the same prayers but over the past few years we've drifted in opposite directions politically while staying in the same church, and now we can barely get through dinner without one of us feeling like the other person has betrayed something fundamental. We love each other but we're starting to feel like strangers who happen to share a bed and a pew.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The sacred and political are intertwining in ways that are fracturing intimate bonds, revealing how differently two people can interpret the same spiritual foundation.
