My husband and I and our 2 kids were invited to dinner to a friends house for dinner. They have 4 kids of their own, all the kids play somewhat nicely together. As for the wife she's very nice and we get along well but her cooking is not very good, sorry I know it's not nice to say that. Now as for her husband he's a really annoying. He's the type of person that can have a four hour conversation with himself & you have to sit there and listen because he won't let you speak and if you dare to speak according to him your wrong all the time! My husband and I don't want to go.
Anyway my question is this. How do we politely get out of this dinner invitation?

Sorry but we are busy... thank you ever so much anyway.

Funny, you describe them as friends, then ask how to get out of it. Here's my opinion:
If the cooking is part of the issue, turn the invite around. Tell them you're busy on the day for which you were invited, but ask them over for another night. If they really are friend, ,maybe taking her cooking out of the equation makes it better. Play a board game or something, making the conversation with her husband unnecessary. Plan an activity with all of the kids, again, making it unnecessary to engage in an isolated conversation with her husband. Of course, if you just don't enjoy their company, maybe they aren't friends. If that's the case, just phase them out, and you'll be much happier.

A guy who talks nonstop and tells you how stupid you are if you disagree??? Exchange that nice enough wife for a raving fanatic and you have my in laws :-)
Graciously accept the invitation to dinner but only if they let you bring the dessert- then make a delicious, crunchy, sticky, peanut buttery dessert that will keep the husband's mouth occupied after dinner. When the dessert is gone, begin yawning and commenting on how you have a long day ahead tomorrow.
I have a friend with an annoying husband. We never plan things as couples. Us moms take the kids and do things, so the kids can play.
Thank them for the invite, bow out due to holiday obligations and NEVER except an invite that includes the annoying husband.

We are friends & I'm a very good friend Just because I don't like her cooking doesn't make me any less of a friend. Do you like every little thing that your friends do???

Keep the friendship with your Bud separate from the family.
The Boss has several friends I don't particularly care for.

Uh! Why not say "thanks for your kind invitation, but we have other plans?" No further response is necessary.

I'm confused... why did you call them "friends"? It doesn't sound as if you like them. Are you friendly with the wife through your kids or is he someone your husband works with?
IMO: It's easy to say "no" when there is no interest in sustaining a relationship. Since you've put off answering, tell them your husband has other plans for that day and don't give them an opportunity to invite you on a different date. You're busy, busy, busy.
I've tried really hard over the years to not tell her that her husband is a [censored] and I don't like him. He has invited himself along on a few "girls nights". I finally had to tell her that it isn't fair to my husband if her husband shows up and she put her foot down with him.
Last year I met another gal that I really like and would like to get to know her better and her husband makes the first husband look like a Saint. This one is just don't right rude, obnoxious, overbearing, confrontational and she's the sweetest thing. I wonder sometimes how people get along. Anyhow I've not done anything with them. Just stopping by to look at her Halloween decorations was horrendous. He had gotten home from work when I was there and he promptly started haranging me for the vehicle I drove, how it was parked, and why would I stop by for a visit if I wasn't going to stay long. Then says, "I'm just kidding." I wanted to drive my car over him.
