Change your succession law. If you end up eventually going feudal you have better succession laws to choose from. Also reforming your faith gives you other options for succession as well. Seniority might be your best option right now if you don't want your realm to split though.

With gavelkind, try not to create titles that are equal to your already highest ranking primary title if you can. Since you have 2 kingdoms that are your highest ranking titles, your realm will split in two. You can also just have one child, get rid of your wife, and then keep having bastards with concubines as back ups you can legitimize if your first son dies and marry an old woman who can't reproduce for her stats. There's also strong claim duels you can have now with your siblings who took the split land after you inherited. If you're Catholic there's other ways to deal with gavelkind, like giving one of the heirs a theocratic title or sending them to a monastery and also using seduction focus for bastards since you can't have concubines. You can always join a holy order and go celibate after your first child, but that's pretty risky.
