PROVO When Stephen and Jessica Zimmerman come home, they settle into an easy routine. They talk about their day, eat dinner and start to clean up.

But as they begin doing the dishes, the topic usually changes to faith, religion and spirituality.

"We always make a point to talk to each other and share what we can about what we're learning and how we're growing," Jessica Zimmerman, 24, said.

It's what first drew the couple together.

They began having spiritual discussions while they were both single and served together in a singles ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Since they were married on Dec. 21, 2014, Jessica Zimmerman said, they have tried to continue their spiritual learning together.

"Being single, I loved talking about my faith," Stephen Zimmerman, 25, said. Once he was married, he felt he then had someone who supported him and could talk with him about faith.

Lem Bach, 34, said when he and his wife, Desirae, 33, were married in 2004, it was easy to skip church services. They were working hard and felt God would want them to be well rested.
