A possible solution is to hire an architect as a consultant. Agree that both of you will go along with his/her suggestions. Make the architect the bad guy.

This is what I am doing. The process has been relatively simple. When you have a guy who has designed a variety of houses over the years, he knows what works and what does not work, trends, etc. When you have a pro telling the wife why this works or does not work, she goes along with it.

The only thing she changed her mind on was the design of the exterior facade.

An architect makes design nearly stress free.
