When couples disagree about loan forgiveness in their microfinance work

My partner and I started a microfinance organization together five years ago and now we're seeing that some of our borrowers can't repay and we fundamentally disagree about whether to forgive loans or enforce collections. We both got into this to help people but we can't agree on what helping actually means when the money runs out.
