family men

Household heads, stereotypically

Family men is the plural of family man—a man devoted to his wife and children, who prioritizes domestic life over outside pursuits.

The term often implies reliability and traditional values: Most of the guys in the office are family men who coach Little League on weekends.

It can also suggest someone who has settled down after wilder days.
