Some great responses so far, especially regarding the effect on any children.
Marriage is a legal partnership, meaning that finances and property are commingled, and liability also is shared. Some examples are, if one of you were to cheat on income taxes, both of you would be penalized. Similarly, if your husband were to injure someone or damage property while DUI, any finances or property you share could be awarded to the victims. One exception are your retirement accounts, such as 401(k) & IRA.
A consultation with an attorney might be worthwhile.

Wow, this describes the relationship between my wife and me! Well, except that we share activities more than meals, such as gardening and trips to the doctor.
