はwa
topic particle
かka
question particle
元げん気きgenki
well; lively, vigorous; health
おo
honorific prefix
(ご)主しゅ人じん(go)shujin
husband

Note how, just as with 家か内ない the kanji in this word correspond to traditional gender roles.

The problem is that though among friends you can use 夫おっと, in a less casual setting there's not currently really a good alternative to ご主しゅ人じん to politely refer to someone else's husband.
