When couples navigate spiritual doubt together while parenting young children

My spouse and I are both questioning the religion we were married in, but we're questioning it in completely different directions, and we have young children who are asking about God and death and meaning. Every conversation about what to teach them becomes a proxy for our own spiritual uncertainty, and we keep hurting each other's feelings without meaning to.
