Hi Gonecrazy,
Welcome to the forum. People who suffer from mental illnesses such as BiPolar I believe are always vulnerable to to their illness. Medications can help reduce/relieve symptoms but are not a cure. Symptoms can re-occur if the person stops responding the medication, or sometimes the medication needs to be adjusted.
It's good he realized that he was having difficulties and went back on the medication. Many people don't.
As far as having a normal life, since I don't know what one is myself I can't answer that. A life where there is happiness, fulfillment, intimacy, is something to be strived for, but certainly there will be no life that doesnot have struggles, pain, or challenges. I understand what you mean by "normal" but it may be normal for you and your husband that he will to some extent have some up and down episodes. We all have those, but with bi-polars there is a more extreme nature involved.
I hope this helps. Keep posting.
Juls
