When parents disagree on how to respond to a child's spiritual questioning

My teenage daughter has started questioning everything about the faith we raised her in, which I actually support, but my husband feels like we're losing her and keeps trying to pull her back into practices that now feel empty to her. The dinner table has become a minefield and I feel caught between supporting her authentic journey and keeping our family from fracturing over something that should be bringing us closer to truth.
