From your post you have been invited to attend a Work Focussed Interview, the partners of claimants on an income Related benefit are required to attend these, failing to do so can lead to your husbands benefit being sanctioned.

Apart from the inconvenience the meeting should be a formality, they will ask you about your working and whether they can help you to find additional hours, but importantly they cannot require you to do anything.

To be clear, they may suggest that you do more hours, they may even ask you to do more hours, but they cannot require you to do so.
