While I think that in a relationship it is expected and wanted that our partner to give us some emotional support (I mean, I think that's one of the reasons we don't want to be alone and have everything fall on our own shoulders. Plus, they should know us better than anyone else since they're with us more than most others), it also shouldn't be expected for all or even the majority of it to come from our partners. That would be an unfair expectation.
I think it's good that you look to a higher power and also realize that you do need to find some of your strength and support from within.
This might be a good question to ask your spiritual leader or therapist.
