My Top 5 Favorite TV Husbands

Everyone's definition of the perfect husband is different. Maybe some girls dream of a cultured and distinguished gentleman while others might long for a charming hunk. Still, others might be attracted to those wild, bad boy types. Whatever your ideal mate is like, you can always find a plethora of husbands being portrayed on tv. So, I thought I would share with you my top 5 favorite tv husbands and why they made my list. Here they are (in no particular order):



1. Adam Braverman (Peter Krause) from Parenthood

What's not to love about Adam Braverman? He's honest, dependable, hard-working, good-looking, and absolutely 100% devoted to his wife and kids. He's that pillar of strength that everyone in his family turns to when they need help or advice. And, yes, maybe he's a little uptight and high-strung underneath it all, but, I could live with that. No matter how much stress is put on his shoulders, he always comes through.


2. Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) from Friday Night Lights

Eric Taylor is a strong and stand-up guy. He's passionate about three things - his wife, his daughters, and the boys that he coaches in high-school football. And, if anybody messes with any of those three things, he's going to staunchly defend them no matter what. He's got a little bit of a temper - not enough to do any harm - but just enough to show his fierce determination and commitment to his beliefs. He also happens to have a great smile and really nice eyes!


3. Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel) from How I Met Your Mother

Marshall is a real sweetheart! He's totally, head over heels in love with his girl, Lily. He is smart, kind, sensitive, and loyal. Family is very important to him and he considers his dad one of his best friends. He reminds me of a big ol' cute and cuddly teddy bear. Gotta love Marshall as a husband!


4. Carlos Solis (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) from Desperate Housewives

Oooh! Carlos is tall, dark, and handsome (well, I don't know if he's especially tall, but he is definitely dark and handsome). He makes a good living (I mean, just look at their house, cars, and all of Gaby's designer clothes and jewelry). And, best of all, he seems to be a very patient man. He puts up with Gaby's spoiled, conniving ways and tries to keep her on the straight and narrow path.


5. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) from Grey's Anatomy

His steely blue eyes and red hair are reason enough for Owen Hunt to make my favorite tv husbands list. But, besides his good looks, Owen is smart and sensitive, a real take-charge kind of guy. He fell for Christana Yang almost at first sight and they have been through a lot together. His strength and character make him a great mate!
