When couples avoid the deeper questions about having children

My partner and I are trying to decide whether to have kids and we keep researching and making pros and cons lists but we've never talked about what we each think a meaningful life looks like or whether bringing new people into this world feels like a gift or a burden. All our conversations stay on the surface.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The decision to create new life touches the deepest questions about meaning and responsibility, but it's easier to debate logistics than to examine what you actually believe about existence.
