I thought it should have been written as:
“my husband and I” vs “my husband and me”.
I suppose it no longer matters.

As I understand it you are supposed to split it when referring to another person and yourself.

You put the other person first and then yourself.

When you split it then it’s actually correct believe it or not.

Others please advise.

Actually, “my husband and me” is gramatically correct, her error of judgement notwithstanding.

“My husband and me voted” is incorrect. The way to tell is:

“Me voted” vs. “I voted”

“My husband and I voted” is correct.

Her grammar is correct. The 1st person personal pronoun is serving as a direct object in that sentence, and the objective case for that pronoun is me, not I.

I can’t get beyond the fact that she (as a woman) serves as a pastor. Nothing after that is surprising. Then again, the magazine is called Christianity TODAY, not Christianity as It Should Be.

I saw that. I expected, “me and my husband”.
