When couples disagree about tithing and prosperity gospel teachings

My husband and I attend different churches now because I can't stomach the prosperity gospel preaching at our old congregation where they constantly ask for 'seed money' for God's blessing, but he thinks I'm being judgmental and that our financial struggles are actually because I stopped tithing faithfully. We're fighting about money and God at the same time and I don't know how to separate them anymore.
