Scenario

When aging couples experience faith differently and struggle to connect spiritually

My wife and I are both in our seventies and we've been going to the same church for forty years, but lately we're experiencing God so differently - she's finding deeper peace in the familiar rituals while I'm questioning everything I thought I believed, and it's creating this strange distance between us that we don't know how to talk about. We used to pray together every night and now we just lie there in silence, both afraid that sharing what's really happening in our hearts might shatter something precious between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who have shared a spiritual path are discovering that aging has led them to profoundly different relationships with the sacred, creating an intimacy gap they don't know how to bridge.
