When parents disagree about boundaries with struggling adult children

My wife and I disagree about how much to help our adult daughter who keeps making choices we think are destructive. I want to set boundaries and let her learn from consequences, she wants to keep supporting her because 'that's what parents do,' and our daughter is getting mixed messages from us being on different pages.
