Husbands and wives should put much prayer into understanding how their relationships with God are complementary and how they can help each other grow. God has not paired you at random, but with a specific purpose in mind: your sanctification, that you may be united with Him.
Each spouse will have their own personal relationship with God. Rather than allow jealousy or indifference to fester, use your spiritual gifts to help one another grow closer to God. If he is gifted with a deep inner silence, and she with a deep inner joy, then let these gifts be shared with one another rather than ignoring or coveting them. Each will have their own charism, but we can always learn from each other to ensure that our charism stays well balanced and healthy.
