are you trying to live in Denmark or Sweden? Your post refers to reunification in Sweden, but you've posted on the Denmark board.

Its very easy and simple in Sweden and takes about only 4 months you can submit an application of family reunification online. More you can read on migrationverket.se

I think if you guys can move and have a registered address in Sweden, the Swedish way will be good. The EU will depend if you husband has a job and enough money to satisfy the EU conditions.

if you're moving for just three months, maybe it's worth looking into what kind of allowance you get as a DK resident when in other Schengen-agreement countries.

For example, when I was on an Icelandic resident visa, I could travel and spend time in other Schengen zone countries for 90 days.

The reason I mention it is because the resident visas are generally intended for longer stays of a year, and can often take several months to process. If you're just going for a temporary stay, such a visa may not be the best fit.
