How does one instill a love of Judaism when only one parent is religious? My DH feels nothing for Judaism. We live in a small place. He doesn't have a relationship with a rabbi he considers a mentor. Our kids are getting older and they are perceptive. They are learning that it's all a bunch of ritual with emptiness. It makes me sad.

You show. You get them frum friends and shul experience. But your husband has an influence too.

You can only control yourself. You do your best, but there are no guarantees regardless of whether or not both parents are on the same page. I grew up with one religious parent and one not. I am religious, my brother is not. I don't think there's anything our religious parent could have done differently that would have changed my brother's choices.
