We’ve talked to many couples over the years where one spouse feels like they are further along on their spiritual journey than the other. Feeling this way can lead to feelings of loneliness, tiredness, sadness, and marital dispute. Some couples may even have one spouse that is saved and the other that has yet to find Jesus.
