Joint account holder, smart idea or not?

[Anonymous]

I just got married. My husband and I would like to have all the accounts under both of our names. My husband has two credit cards and a very good credit score. I never had credit cards, so I currently have no credit. I have two questions:

1. If I become a joint account holder will it hurt his credit score?
2. Will becoming a joint account holder help me build my non-existent credit score?

Thanks
