When couples disagree about spiritual commitment versus exploration

My partner and I have been exploring different wisdom traditions together for three years, trying on everything from Sufism to Buddhism, but lately I'm feeling like we're spiritual tourists and she thinks I'm being too rigid about wanting to choose one path. We're both seeking something real but we can't agree on how to find it.
