When parents disagree about how to handle their child's faith questions

My teenage daughter is asking hard questions about faith that I don't have good answers for and my husband thinks we should just tell her to trust and have faith but I remember being her age and having those same questions dismissed. We're supposed to be united as parents but we have completely different ideas about how to guide her through this and every conversation about it becomes a fight about our own beliefs.
