When couples can't align on selling the family business

My spouse and I have been trying to decide whether to sell our family restaurant for six months and we keep having the same circular conversations where they focus on the emotional attachment and legacy while I focus on the financials. We're both right but we're talking past each other and I can feel us getting more entrenched in our positions rather than finding a path forward together.

What we've seen

You and your spouse keep going in circles about selling the restaurant, one of you focused on feelings and the other on money, talking right past each other.
