"He just wants very reputable sources for information and is pulled less by emotions than by fact, which is hard when most contrary information comes from anti-mormon sources."
What your husband need to realize---and maybe you can help him with this---is that the term "anti-Mormon sources" does not equate to it being false or deceptive. Obviously, any material which challenges the church's legitimacy is by definition "anti-Mormon." Your husband will simply have to study both sides of the issues, and decide which side he believes is telling the truth. One of the best resources, which tells both sides, is
mormonthink.com. Tell him to read the material there, and if he finds stuff that's untrue, to make a list of it or something, so he can compare both sides.
"it does seem like the idea of polygamy doesn't enrage men as often like it does women. My husband just calculates it to be something we can't understand in this life."
What little I learned about polygamy when I was Mormon didn't bother me much either, but that's because the church didn't teach me the negative aspects of it that WOULD have enraged me. When I learned the truth about it, I was disgusted. Here are some resources your husband can look over:
