'big embrace' is the definition.
'bear hug' can be an answer for 'embrace' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'big' bit.

'endure guy endlessly coming up to grab husband' is the wordplay.
'endure' becomes 'bear' (synonyms).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'coming up to' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'grab' indicates putting letters inside.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'guy' with its final letter taken off is 'gu'.
'gu' back-to-front is 'ug'.
'bear'+'ug'='bearug'
'bearug' placed around 'h' is 'BEAR HUG'.

'in' acts as a link.
