If your husband is part of your household at any time during the last six months of the year, then you do not file as Head of Household. You file as Married Filing Jointly. This is a better filing status for you in all cases.
Either you or your spouse can be the Taxpayer and the other the Spouse. If you want to be the Taxpayer, put your occupation. Your spouse can be unemployed, homemaker, retired, or whatever. It really doesn't matter.

If you're married and living with your spouse, you are not allowed to file as head of household. You can file jointly though, even if only one of you have income - this is a better rate anyway than head of household would be. So not only would you be doing something illegal by filing as head of household, you'd also be cheating yourself by paying more taxes than you have to.
If you file jointly and only one of you has income, you can put pretty much whatever you want, whatever makes sense to you, for the occupation of the person without income.
A married person may only file as head of household if they provide more than half of the cost for the tax year of providing a home for a dependent child, and the spouse does not live in the home at any time during the last half of the year.

If you are married, you CANNOT file as head of household. Your only options are Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separate. Besides, if your husband is not working, you are much better off filing jointly anyway.
