My wife and I decided to convert to Judaism together two years ago but we're moving at completely different speeds and she's frustrated that I'm not as committed to Hebrew study as she is while I feel like she's judging my every question about tradition. We're starting to fight about Shabbat observance and it's making something that was supposed to bring us closer feel like it's driving us apart.
More people experience this than they realize.
The sacred journey of transformation becomes a source of division when partners discover they inhabit conversion differently.
