Mary, I agree with the advice of everyone, keep one file that includes both your and your husband's families. I would add a caution to everyone who is exporting information from one file to another, using GEDCOMs. It involves problems with the sources. I've just done some export/import operations and have encountered a huge problem. Shortly I'll be sending an email to all, asking for help in solving the problem.

I agree with everyone else. I go one step further though. I'm doing my family history for my grandchildren, so I go up from their lines. Yes, it's more work, but, I'm about the only one doing any family history on both sides. I keep it all in one database.
