UU's probably discuss their spiritual lives with one another in a different way than evangelicals, but we reap from these discussions some of the same benefits in terms of stronger relationships and deeper spiritual exploration.

I wouldn't ask that. I know that in my Christian experience we would be asked "how our walk was". It felt intrusive and riddled with curiosity rather then care... a line we have to watch.

It certainly seems to keep them engaged with one another and their prayer lives. My friends in evangelical churches tend to do a lot more of the “challenging” behavior with one another.
