Mainly their understanding of baptism. Certainly there are some major polity differences. Methodist are episcopal and have a chain of command outside of the local church. Baptists are congregational and so each baptist church runs their own church. Depending on the baptist church there are sometimes difference in belief on free will and predestination.

What would a good compromise church be for a Methodist adn baptist that are married?

I was in that situation 25 years ago. Methodist churches do have some that are more evangelical than others. If you can find an evangelical Methodist church, usually smaller than the "First Methodist of the City," then that would be the best of the compromise. Not to step on any toes but my spouse found the baptist churches in our southern town to be too judgmental for her Methodist upbringing. I found the Methodist church acceptable to my divergent beliefs in Bible study and I could still believe as a conservative baptist while still a member in the Methodist church.
