You do owe your father respect & love. However, you are a grown woman & have chosen your husband to love & cherish. Your husband doesn't seem to be a bad man or abusive so your father has no right to tell you to leave him.
I would inform your father that you love him & want to spend time with him. Maybe you can work it out that just you & your dad do things together & don't include your husband. Your father may be jealous of having to share your attention with your husband.
My dad isn't real happy with my husband either. I come from a very hard working, perfectionist family. And my husband is very laid back & believes there are more important things than work & that's why I love him. I get lucky because my dad doesn't speak to hardly anyone so he doesn't say not nice things to my husband, but I have heard how he feels. But I made a decision the day I married him that I would take my husbands side no matter what. Even if it's against my own family. I chose to love my husband & nothing my family says will change that.
