Questions & Answers about Мой супруг-музыкант часто играет на гитаре дома вечером.

Why is there a hyphen in супруг-музыкант? Why not just a space?

The hyphen shows that супруг and музыкант refer to the same person and are in apposition (two nouns describing one person):

• мой супруг-музыкант ≈ “my spouse, (who is a) musician”
• It’s like saying “teacher-writer”, “doctor-mother” in English.

In Russian, when two nouns in the same case directly follow each other and describe one person, a hyphen is often used:

• актёр-любитель – an amateur actor
• женщина-врач – a woman doctor

You could also write it with commas:
Мой супруг, музыкант, часто играет… – which adds more of a pause and makes музыкант sound like extra, non-essential information.
With the hyphen, it sounds like a tighter fixed description: “my musician spouse / my husband-musician”.
