When couples cope with crisis in opposite ways

My partner and I used to have these incredible conversations about meaning and purpose, but since we started facing real hardship - his job loss, my parent's illness - we've retreated into completely different ways of coping and we can barely connect anymore. I've gone deeper into spiritual practice while he's pulled away from anything that feels like faith or hope.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people discover that suffering can either forge souls together or drive them into separate worlds of meaning-making.
