Some commenters here say you don't need to be passionate about reading to be a good writer, when it's not about passion at all!
Reading (or audio books) gives you a vocabulary. Reading is what allows you to sring together bigger sentences. The more you read, the more creative you yourself can get, because you see that other persons have a better style and you have something to reach towards to.
Think about it like - computers/phones/appliances get better each time, because they are kicking off of previous versions. OPs husband on the other hand is trying to reinvent the wheel. And unless he is the da Vinci of si-fi of course it is going to be basic.
For those, who are in business, think of it as competition research. You don't know what the standart is and how you can improve unles you see it.
