Butting in, sorry if it seems rude. I don't know how long you've dealt with this with your husband, but I'm curious if you've explained the whole crate = den for a dog to him? It is completely natural for a dog to not only need but want their own space, and have dens in the wild, as I'm sure you know.
Every dog I have ever had, even if they didn't love the idea initially, would eventually go to their crates on their own for peace and comfort once it was established as theirs. Sheldon is only fourteen weeks old and already goes in it on his on from time to time.
This may be redundant to you, I just wasn't sure what you've tried to get your husband to budge. Husbands sure can be tough sometimes
