Remember as youi want him to accept you as you are, you must do the same for him. That is a very important part. Accept everything from him right now because that is what he needs and that is what the Lord does for us.
He accepts us for who we are and tries to help us to become better Christians. That is what you are going to need to do for your husband. Be that special friend that he can talk to and be around.
The hardest part is not taking things personal. As he sees you doing this, he will start to feel safer around you.
