I applaud his optimism, but it sounds like he needs to seek counsel, along with it. I have a good friend, that I've known for about 25 years. He's been a Christian for the whole time I've known him, while I've been a Christian for about half that time. Your husband sounds a lot like my friend. Difference being not only is my friend older and been married longer, but my friend also has two children. About five years ago, my friend and his family came to visit for a week. In that time, I not only got to know his wife better, but he and I also opened lines of communication\discussion on topics we previously never discussed. Some of them basically touch upon the topics you are currently facing. For the last five years, I've been supportive towards him, but moreso have been encouraging him to examine his situation (i.e. prodding him to "get it"). It wasn't until a few months ago, that he finally came around. I think one thing that all of us can experience is to "not know what we don't know". And that can very easily misdirect us. I think your husband could use some counsel and wisdom. But it sounds like he first must get passed his pride.
