Husband? I think you'll find most female characters who's users are men are lisbians.
This most probably. That said my first playthrough will be male, and I'm pretty sure that he will actually be gay, so maybe that balances out (I'm a straight guy, btw). But regardless of the character I'm playing, when choosing a male for my character I'll probably go for a character that has interesting dialogue choices.And a character that I think suits my anti-hero, who is seeking redemption. If he also makes for a good combat companion, that would be great, but isn't necessary. I have no idea about race; Redguard maybe?
