When couples avoid discussing spiritual beliefs until major life decisions force the conversation

My partner grew up religious and I didn't, and we've built a life together by just not talking about the spiritual stuff, but now we're thinking about kids and suddenly every conversation about values or meaning feels loaded with all the things we've never said to each other. We're both scared that if we're really honest about what we believe, we'll discover we're incompatible in ways that matter more than we thought.
