When the two of you sleep at different temperatures

Short answer: Two duvets in one bed solves it in most homes. If that is not possible, choose one thin shared duvet and let whoever gets cold wear an extra layer.

Two duvets rather than one

Two separate duvets mean each person chooses the thickness. It is the only real solution to two temperatures. See bamboo bedding.

Nightwear can even out the difference

Whoever gets cold wears long sleeved nightwear, whoever runs warm wears shorts. See bamboo sleepwear for women and bamboo sleepwear for men.

Set the room for the warmer person

Set the temperature for whoever runs warmest and let the other add a layer. That is easier than the reverse.
