phrase Uncommon #22,063

husband Refers to a married man. In everyday Spanish, "mi marido" is more common than "un marido" when talking about one’s own husband, but the phrase is still correct and useful. The word "marido" specifically means husband; it is not the same as "mujer" in the sense of wife, because "mujer" more generally means woman and is also used colloquially for wife in some contexts.
