I have a Macbook Pro, my husband has a PC. Can we share Quicken?

We both have used Quicken on our respective computers in years past, but I don't recall if we could share an account.

Yes and no. You can download both the PC and Mac versions of the program with a single account purchase. However, the two programs are not interoperable. So while you can each run quicken on your own computers while paying for only one subscription, you cannot share a single data file. You would have to be working with separate independent data files. There's really no path to move data back and forth.
If you both want to be working on the same database, then the best way to accomplish that is to use remote login software to login from the Mac to the Quicken installation running on the PC or vice versa. Here are some examples of Mac remote desktop software:
