You have no right to force him to add you to the account, just as if you have your own business or income, you can have your own account and refuse to add him. If you divorce him, you'd be entitled to a share of the marital assets (including the value of or money in the business) and may, if he is the primary breadwinner, also get spousal support (alimony). But the law does not intervene in, and courts have no power over, a marriage or a couple's domestic or financial arrangement except when a divorce case is filed.
