When couples from different Jewish traditions struggle to build shared practice

My partner and I are both Jewish but from completely different traditions and we're trying to create some kind of meaningful practice together but every time we talk about it we end up defending our childhood experiences instead of building something new. We bought this comprehensive guide thinking it would help us find common ground but now we're just arguing about which interpretations feel authentic.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that creating shared spiritual meaning requires moving beyond defending their individual histories toward something neither has experienced before.
