America's Hottest Husband Contest

When you look at your husband, what do you see? Mr. Right? Or Mr. Used To Be Right But Now Look At Him What Happened?

Some lucky women regularly get an eyeful of a man who is as beautiful on the outside as he is on the inside. A man who loves his kids, respects his parents, cherishes his wife and contributes to his community. He's someone who'll drive the carpool, unload the dishwasher, share the financial load and still find the energy to flirt ... with his wife. Oh, and he's pretty darn cute, to boot.

Sound like a fantasy? This is what our mothers meant when they urged us to "marry well." It's not all about money; it's about having an abundance of riches. And some women out there have managed to marry very well.

So when Redbook magazine asks American women every year to nominate their husbands as "hotties," it's not only about their looks. Redbook is looking for a man whose heat comes as much from his attitude as it does from his six-pack (and we're not talking brews).

Does your husband qualify? Click here and let Redbook know all about him. And stay tuned to The Early Show and Redbook to follow the progress of the search for America's Hottest Husband.

July's Hot Husband:

Name: Jake Socwell
Age: 28
Hometown: Rochester, MN
Profession: Works for a large landscaping company
Family: Married 2 years; father to Caleb, 2 1/2

According to Redbook, Lisa Socwell says that when she first got to know her husband-to-be, he was sure that he'd never get married.

"Nearly five years later, here we are -- happily married with the most beautiful son and another baby on the way," says Lisa, 31.

"No other father on earth can kiss an 'owie' or make a 2-year-old buckle over in laughter the way Jake can.

"But he is definitely a 'guy's guy'! Having worked for a landscape company for nine years, he is never afraid to get his hands dirty (what girl doesn't love that!), he actually enjoys shoveling the snow from the driveway, and believes that there is nothing more important than a properly working lawn mower with cupholder —- for his frothy beverage, of course."
