When partners find separate spiritual communities

My partner and I started attending different spiritual communities after we moved cities and now we're each finding meaningful community in separate places but missing the shared spiritual life we used to have together. We don't want to give up what we've found individually but we're growing apart in ways that scare us both.

What we've seen

The blessing of individual spiritual growth can become a threat to couple intimacy when partners find their sacred home in different communities.
