Me and the fiancé pretty well talk about everything at this point. And have for the duration of our relationship once it became more serious.

I grew up in a household where they didn't communicate, hid things from each other, etc. It was miserable to be a part of as a child and worse when I became an adult.

We talk about what she needs us to talk about.

I do not burden her with my struggles and worries about taking care of the family. If she asks I will tell her unless I feel it will unnecessarily worry her. My job is to make her a worry free about my duties and responsibilities so that she can focus 100% of her efforts on the nurturing of the family from the interior.

Men are the protectors and women are the nurturers of the family this is how God made it and how life is meant to be lived in union with God. Problems arise when these roles and duties are confused and ignored.

Aside from that we talk about anything and everything as we feel the need or want to do.

Talk about what? You make all the decisions, so what is there to talk about?

And all of this can be put aside when you're simply answering the question of whether or not you and your wife talk about everything with one another.

You telling your wife about work or your vulnerabilities does not take you out of the "protector" role and complicate your relationship with God. Certainly more likely to draw you closer as a three fold cord than it would cause problems.

Sorry.

I didn't know it was a simple yes or no question.

Chit chat, yeah.
Anything relevant to her, our marriage, family, yeah.
But if it doesn’t involve or affect her I might not. Depends on what it is.

we don't keep things from each other but there's a lot of irrelevant stuff that doesn't necessarily have to be discussed/shared

I'm sure your friends love this.

I know better than to tell my wife other people's personal business because she can be a damn gossip.

I don't necessarily even disagree with your roles in the way God intended them. But it's ridiculous to think that if you and your wife talk about certain things going on in your life it's going to create a role reversal and cause problems with God.

We talk about everything. Even if it feels like minutiae and even if it’s repetitive. It’s important for us to be unified in that way.

I grew up in a household where my mom and dad didn’t really do this, so it’s taken some time and effort to learn (and to realize how important it is).
