A husband is a man who is married. When two people get married, they become spouses.

Being a husband involves partnership, shared responsibilities, and commitment to building a life together. Husbands work alongside their wives to solve problems, support each other's goals, and create a happy home. This might mean splitting household chores, helping raise children together, or simply being someone their spouse can count on during difficult times.

You might hear related phrases like “her husband” or “my husband.” The verb form appears in expressions like “husband your resources,” which means to use them carefully and wisely, saving them for when you'll really need them.
