How to Say "My Husband" in French

mon mari

The French phrase for "my husband" is mon mari.

This phrase is used by a married woman or person to refer to their male spouse.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of mon, meaning "my" and mari, meaning "husband".

While mon mari is the standard way to say "my husband", Mon époux serves as a more formal alternative used in official or highly respectful contexts.

Because mari is a masculine noun, the masculine possessive adjective mon must be used instead of the feminine ma.

In some French contexts, mari can be used as a shortened slang term for 'marijuana'.
While mon mari is the standard term, some French speakers use the more casual mon homme to refer to their husband in certain social contexts.
The term mari is strictly for a husband, whereas if you want to refer to a spouse of any gender in a neutral way, you would use conjoint.
