Sometimes I get to the point I don't know who's harder to reason with, my husband or my difficult child! I've now been with my husband for 10 years and we've rarely been on the same page. We're pretty close in theory, but in practicality (especially with his 2 difficult child's) I've learned to accept we'll never be on the same page.
I've had the most success when he feels he's come to the conclusions on his own or from someone other than me. He has little respect for counselors and sometimes professional opinions have made matters worse. Be loving, patient, and assertive in your convictions.
