When couples disagree about selling inherited property

My partner inherited her grandmother's house two years ago and we've been living in it rent-free but now she wants to sell it to invest the money and I feel like we're losing the only stable home we've ever had together and neither of us knows how to talk about what this house means versus what the money could mean.
