But I wouldn't call husband a "title" there - it's "in apposition" to the name David (both nouns refer to the same thing). Consider also ...together with husband and... (usually, ...and children) where that optional second noun (husband's name) isn't present. | |

That said, it is used almost exclusively as a form of address ("Good day, Friend Peterson"), and will at best sound old fashioned. It is not idiomatic in modern English and I would avoid it. | |
