He has a group of planets in Capricorn, but Pluto isn't due to hit them for a few years yet. However, he has Pluto in the House of Marriage/7th House and right now that is getting hit by Saturn. Pluto is importantly placed here as it is part of a Kite configuration.
There is a great page discussing how Pluto in the 7th needs profound relationships that offer spiritual growth:

Saturn went over his degree of Pluto in December last year, it is now reversing back over it, and will only start to move away around August. This suggests that he is examining his marriage and the significance of it in his life.
If you check out Cafe Astrology's page on Saturn transiting the houses, you might find what is says about the 7th house helpful:

There's something I can't leave out here, and that is the Moon's Nodes. They North Node is conjoined to Pluto in the 7th house and as you can imagine, as also been hit by Saturn. If you look on CafeAstrology under Saturn transits there is some discussion of this aspect.
Then, on the other side of the chart, the transiting North Nodes hit the Ascendant in December - so there is a real pattern here. They have also hit Chiron the Healer.
Celeste Teal has made some remarks about the North Node travelling over the Ascendant at:

Saturn is the ruler of your 7th house, and what do you know, it falls in the 7th house of your husband's chart, and is conjunct his Pluto - just! I think it is fair to say that you are deeply significant in his life.
There is another link. Saturn on your chart is Square Venus, again not a close aspect at 6 degrees, but I'm sure you can feel it. One of my favourite Astrology books is by James Braha (How to be a Great Astrologer) and he mentions the fear of rejection as one of the likely manifestations of this interaction. Saturn is in the 3rd house of communcation, so I think you can see where I am headed with that.
Your Saturn is opposite your husband's Venus, in Sensitive Pisces. Another part of the pattern - it is part of the Kite mentioned above, and is opposite his Pluto. He does seem idealistic about love relationships. You add some reality to this, maybe too much for him and I wonder if you are worried about threatening his ideals?
On your chart the planet of the communciation Mercury is in the 1st house and is Conjunct both the Moon and the Sun in the sign of Cancer. You are probably generally quite good at expressing your feelings, but that is quite a lot of Cancer. I'm going to guess here that you cry a lot - I could be wrong!
If you are interested in looking up these aspects this site is a good one:

Now I went and looked back at your husband's chart and what do I see but the Moon conjunct Saturn and the Sun in Capricorn, Opposite the Stellium mentioned above. He is quite different, very serious, and reserved.
There is a balance of expressive styles at work here, and I suspect communication on this topic has been difficult.He might find it hard to deal with emotional reactions, added to the likely problem that he finds it hard to open up and talk about how he feels.
