My wife is still very much a believer and attends church every week with our kids.
I resigned a little over a year ago with her consent, if not with her blessing. Personally, I would not have resigned without her consent.
Perhaps you could compromise? What if you agreed to wait until July to resign and at that point you will resign? At that point he can choose whether to resign or not.

Why does he want or not want to resign?
For me personally my desire to resign didn't come with realizing the church was false but with realizing I was disgusted with the church.
I don't know how open he is to looking at things with you and talking with you. But if he is open maybe you can share some of the ugly things of the church and it's history not just the things that make it false?
For me I remember distinctly what made me want to resign - it was reading the accounts on wivesofjosephsmith.org. Specifically these:
