Fit to be lived in by husband having a few talents? (9)

I believe the answer is:

habitable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'husband having a few talents?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fit to be lived in' is the wordplay.
'fit' becomes 'able' (similar in meaning).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'be lived in' becomes 'habit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'able' after 'habit' is 'HABITABLE'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for habitable that I've seen before include "Suitable for living in" , "Fit to live in" .)
