Can I insure my car if my husband is the registered owner?

I have quite a large no claims bonus built up over the years (so far!) and, because of this I have always insured our car with my OH as a named driver. I was told before we were married that I had to be the legal owner of the car to insure it but we recently bought a new car and my husband went to collect it and gave his details as the registered owner. 
Do we need to change the policy or do I need to become the registered owner or does the fact that we are now married make everything ok - I seem to remember being told this is the case. I have contacted my insurers but they are an internet company so I have to wait for a return email before the question is answered.
Any help gratefully received from anyone in the know.
Thanks.

Panic over, I've just been able to change my policy online to say that OH is the registered keeper.0

As long as you are legally married there is generally absolutely no problem with this.0
