Quick Take: He put a ring on it, so it is time to upgrade his name in your phone. From “Hubby” to hilarious roasts about his snoring, finding the right contact name is the modern way to say, “I’m keeping you forever.”
You signed the marriage license, you had the wedding cake, and you moved in together. But does his contact name in your phone still say “Matt (Hinge)”?

The Spiritual Connection: The Divine Masculine
In spiritual circles, a husband often represents the Divine Masculine energy in your life—protection, structure, and action.
Naming him something powerful like “King,” “Lion,” or “Anchor” isn’t just cute; it affirms his role in your life. It speaks to the spiritual contract you signed to help each other grow. It acknowledges that your union is a vessel for safety and expansion.

Conclusion
Your husband is your person. He is the one you text when you see a funny meme, the one you call when the car makes a weird noise, and the one you cuddle with at the end of a long day.
His name on your phone should make you smile (or laugh). Whether you go with “Love of My Life” or “Snore Monster,” pick a name that reflects the unique, messy, beautiful life you are building together.
Now, go change it before he texts you asking what’s for dinner!
