Does anyone have any ideas that wouldn’t lead to arguments, ’cause I hate confrontations and try to avoid stress as much as possible!!

Here is my advice; “Stop trying to convince your spouse.” Hold on, hold on, bear with me. You are married, in a relationship, chained to together like convicts on a road crew; whatever. You are too close and too emotionally invested, which almost always leads to an argument. There are two things you can do in tandem. First, like TagnBee said talk about the world and the way it is. Subtlety guide your spouse’s perspective towards seeing the need to make a change. Next, find someone like minded that your spouse at least respects, if not trusts. Have them make conversation about such a big topic. Have them ask the questions you want to ask, or make the statements you wish to make. You’ll be amazed at what a difference it make coming from a third party. Seriously, what used to lead to your spouse thinking you are a nut job and an argument, when it comes from someone else will, at times, be as though it had come straight from the lips of Almighty Himself. It can be frustrating; it works, though. I’ve seen it first hand.
