If a man who has been given the ';Sir'; marries, his wife's title is ';Lady';. However since Dame is the feminine equivalent to Sir, what is a Dame's husband called?What is the husband of a Dame called?
The husband of a Dame doesn't get a title as does the wife of a knight, so his title is Mr unless he is given a title separately.What is the husband of a Dame called?
DAME is the title given to a woman who has been ';knighted'; by the queen. The Dame's husband is still called Mr, as the title bestowed to the DAME has nothing to do with him. Unless of course, he has a special title of his own. This same instance can be seen in married Doctors. The title ONLY applies to the Dr. ';Dr and Mrs John Doe'; or more to the point, Mr. John Smith and Dame Jane Smith.
Men's titles are not affected by their wive's titles.A man remains what he was before the marriage,while it is only the wife who's title changes.In your case,the man is still ';Sir.';If he had been ';Mr.'; he would remain ';Mr.';.

The Husbands title does not change, as dame is an honary title given to an individual.
Long ago a Knights wife was called a Dame,
a Dame's husband has not got a title.
It is Mister. The title only changes for him if he is knighted or made a peer of the realm.
