Apologies if this question is too personal!

He is indeed. When I met him, I was a lapsed Catholic. I'd studied about various religions, and something about Judaism (Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism in particular) was resonating with me, but I hadn't decided to convert yet.
I hasten to add that I did not convert "for him". I made my choice freely and without coercion. His family had even gone so far as to find a rabbi who would do an interfaith ceremony (no mean feat). My husband's only request was that our children would be raised Jewish. But he was very glad when I chose Judaism.
