To a native English speaker, the term "lover" here has an unnecessary sexual connotation, which is a silly thing to highlight. They are married (supposedly), and thus he is her husband.

Seems that Americans have a very weird 'love and hate' relationship to anything related to sex.
In other countries, would it be typical to introduce someone's spouse as their "lover?"
