This paper describes the phenomenon of “families in transition” in Kyrgyzstan – families that were formed when both spouses were secular, but in which one of them later became religious. The paper portrays five scenarios via which life in these families could develop. The primary empirical material for the paper is the author’s own family experience and that of his close friend. The author thus uses the method of autoethnography to present and analyze his story. The author portrays “families in transition” as characteristic of the complex changes taking place in the post-Soviet society of Central Asia in regard to growing spirituality and religious involvement as it comes into conflict with the Soviet atheist legacy.
