Tracy,
Instead of "pushing" the book on your husband what if you sent him an e-mail or "summary" of what you feel is important for him to know? I know this may sound silly, but maybe he's just tired after work and doesn't want to HAVE to READ?
Funny as it sounds, my DH and I have some great conversations or openings to conversations over IM or e-mail. It lets him process the information in small doses at his convenience.
Personally, I would make it like, "Since _____ has been happening, I think we need to have a new joint approach to these issues. Since you asked, I have created a list of the key points I think we need to use. I would appreciate your support in making these changes happen.
1)This is the new approach. And here's why."
Then, if and when one of the issues you've addressed comes up and he "falls back into his old ways" or doesn't use the new approach/techniques just tell him he needs to go review. That gets you out of the nagging/telling him what to do role. HE ASKED FOR THIS - SO GIVE IT TO HIM. And then tell him to GO BACK AND READ IT every time he forgets.
That's my 2 cents. I hope you find it helpful.
