What if hijab/beard is brought up after marriage?

Re: What if hijab/beard is brought up after marriage?

I like beards.

Okay, fine, I’ll be serious.
Everyone undergoes change. Being married does not guarantee that one will change and grow at the same rate as their partner. How the change is handled matters. I wouldn’t suggest divorce, but to play devil’s advocate:

If one spouse embraces a more religious path, and all attempts to bring their partner along fails, what is to be done? If one cannot ‘ungrow’ can the other be expected to ‘pregrow’ (grow before their time, it’s a real, scientific term, ahem)? If they are unable to live with the ramifications of the change, what then?
