What is the best way to get my 2 year old son to sleep in his own bed?

My wife is having a difficult time letting my son sleep in his own room. We tried getting him to sleep then lie him down in his room. He usually would wake up between 1 & 2 o'clock. I tried to tell her to let him cry it out and he would eventually go to sleep, but she gives in every time. Then we bought a toddler bed and set it up right next to ours in the master bedroom. He'll sleep in it for a couple of hours then climb in bed with us. I'm getting closer and closer to moving to the couch. Please help a very sleepy father out.

My days of toddlers are long gone. I had 3 in 3yrs & never had that problem because they went into their bed and were not allowed out,if they got out they were put back,if they cried so what,they never slept with us & we never went to crazy measures to get them to sleep either. Give him a drink,make sure he's dry and put him to bed at a regular hour.If you want ,a nite lite may help,but be firm! If he cries,let him cry. You are not bad parents if he cries,he knows eventually he'll be picked up so stop picking him up, he is manipulating you,and it only ups the ante until he gets everything he wants because he will cry and mom will give in. Take mom into her rm and sit with her,eventually he will sleep and find out he can't get what he wants by crying.
