This expression comes from the horror movie Cabin in the Woods, released in 2011. Basically, a "husband bulge" is an erection.

Old-timey, folksome, or religious nutjob's "polite" or naive way of explaining what a boner, visible underneath clothing is. It implies that the speaker doesn't believe sex or sexual desire should happen outside of marriage; so only a husband would have a boner. But "boner" or "erection" are too scandalous and obscene to say.
