What is the difference between He would be... and he could be. Does it translate both ways in Polish?

He could be a good husband - On mógłby być dobrym mężem.

mężem, to be exact ;) But yes, mógłby denotes a possibility (however strong it is), and byłby denotes being quite sure about that.

I don't hear the word before dobrym at all. Is it just me?

And I believe a direct English equivalent is "He's a good husband material" :)

But without the indefinite article, right?

No clue, frankly. Probably...?

Męża materiał, it means in Polish as husband's stuff/fabric. In this case should be - materiał na męża.
