When couples struggle with the financial burden of inherited family property

My husband inherited his family farm and we moved there to try to keep it running, but we're losing money every year and I want to sell while he feels like he'd be betraying generations of family history, and we're both exhausted but can't agree on whether we're being responsible stewards or just stubborn.
