Maybe you should speak to the differences you guys are having. Are you both coding?
Are the style differences in how you are building the app hurting you?
Do you guys openly talk about the differences you are having and how to resolve them, or is it just 'high tension' all day long? Do you need to learn what the best communication style is between the both of you?
Is there a way to clearly separate the work you are doing so that one person has the majority of the input on what he's doing and can be focused, for say, a week or two at a time? At which point, you can go out to lunch, review things, set up your todo list and go your way for another week or two? Not working together in the same space may be a good idea.
I've been married 11 years and I've learned how to deal with sticky situations like this: it's simple -- you just can't always win.
You have to pick your battles and sometimes (often?) cede for the common good. You can learn to argue and still be fine 5 or 10 minutes later.
Also, you mention that you aren't passionate about the product. That is really bad news when you are a founder. Is there some way you can rewrite your job description so that you can find something passionate about the project that can carry you through the first year or two?
