Some want husbands to be like that (4)
I believe the answer is:
thus
'like that' is the definition.
(as in 'like so')
'some want husbands to' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'THUS' is hidden in the letters of 'want husbands to'.
'be' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for thus that I've seen before include "'So, therefore (4)'" , "It follows" , "Therefore, hence" , "Like so" , "Consequently" .)
