About husband (your, her...), it is a little bit particular. Sometimes, you can find the for "Goshuujinsama".
This is old style using by female.
It includes a notion of "lord" or "master" so it it should be a little bit abrupt or shocking.
That's why younger women prefer to use "danna".
PRECISIONS
One particularity of japanese language is you'll not going to use the same vocabulary if you are talking your family or the one's other.
You also must pay attention to some words which has only one letter of difference. For example Obaasan and obasan.
Sometimes also, you simply add the suffix -san to talk someone's other relative.
Example : Musume : MY daughter // Musume-SAN : YOUR daughter
There is also some kanji combination to express relation between people.
If you want to indicate the sister is older and the brother is younger you just have to associate the right kanji 弟姉 on the right order and it's going well.
