Husbands get a bad wrap. We are a large and diverse group made up of a wide range of completely capable and thoughtful fellows. While the bad rap is sometimes deserved, the husband bashing gets old. There are many who “get it” and are often overlooked. To help illustrate this point, here are 25 Husbands Who Get It:

Let’s hear it for the good husbands out there! Want to brag on your hubby? Tell everyone about him in the comments.
Just hoping there are more men out there looking to be this kind of husband…
Adorable!
Except – okay, this is 100% nitpicky, because it still illustrates the point – #17 is a teenager who posted a picture of Harry from One Direction with his hairdresser’s baby (and I am a little ashamed that I know this).
I was afraid of something like that being the case because I didn’t know any of the people on the list (except the small dog owner. That’s me.) I’ve replaced and updated it with an AMAZING ad by Boba.
