Hi, Labrite, Welcome to the Community; we're glad to have you! We understand wanting to have your own email address on the phone. 

Are you trying to change the email address on the Samsung account signed in to the phone or set up your email address on an email app?

If you would like to have your email signed in to the Samsung account, please review this guide for more information.

Make sure your husband logged the phone out of both his Samsung and Google accounts, then sign into the device with your own Google and Samsung accounts. You will not be able to reset the phone if they are still linked to someone else's account, as they need to be set up with the information from the original accounts. If you don't have your own accounts, make them.  You should never share accounts unless you *want* your husband tracking your activity.

Maybe factory reset and then log into your account?
