When couples disagree about staying agnostic versus seeking new beliefs

My wife and I both left our childhood religions years ago and settled into what felt like honest agnosticism, but now she's saying she needs 'something to believe in' and is exploring new spiritual practices while I feel like we're abandoning the intellectual honesty that brought us together. We're starting to feel like strangers to each other in ways that go deeper than just Sunday mornings.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who found each other in doubt are discovering that uncertainty itself can become a point of divergence when one partner's need for meaning conflicts with the other's commitment to unknowing.
