When couples plan pilgrimages with unspoken relationship stakes

My partner wants us to do the Camino next year as a transformative experience and I'm terrified that three weeks of walking together will either save our marriage or end it. We're both using words like 'pilgrimage' and 'journey' but we haven't talked about what happens if we discover different things about ourselves or each other.
