It is no secret that 'the little things' go a long way in a relationship, as seen in this viral video that has melted many hearts on TikTok.
Racking up over 323,000 views, Ashli Bogert (@ashweebogee) shares the moment her husband went out of his way to help her friend. The caption reads: "He went to rescue my friend and her daughter to keep them dry. He is the best of the best."
The footage recorded on a stormy day shows the man approaching the passenger's side of a car while holding a large umbrella. Then the woman carrying her child is walked to the garage to join her friend Bogert.
This small act of kindness has gained a special place in the Georgia-based hair stylist's heart. The text layered over the clip says: "I will never get over how I hit the absolute jackpot with my husband."
Last month, Reddit users discussed traits that make a man attractive, with many emphasizing qualities beyond physical appearance. Instead, women highlighted personality traits such as kindness, compassion, and being a good listener. Newsweek previously explored this topic further with Charlotte Ball, a dating expert based in London, England.
"For women, there are attributes that hold more weight than physical appearance. This can, however, differ between individuals," said Ball, the founder of Bond the Agency, a matchmaking company. "For some women, the values a potential partner holds (i.e. whether they are work- or family-oriented) are really important; for others, the deal-breaker is the personality; for instance, how gregarious or funny someone is."
In the comments, Bogert said that her husband "loves to show our boy how to love & how to be a gentleman. One of my favorite things he does is leads by example."
Other users have said that their son and husband do the same, and one man commented: "Thank you for acknowledging this. So many of us do this sort of thing and never even get a thank you."
"This should be the norm!!!!! Good for you sir," posted another.
Bogert told another user: "Chivalry isn't dead!!"
However, 73 percent of women may disagree, according to dating website Match.com's research, which quizzed 504 single women in 2017. The results published by the English news outlet Metro.co.uk found that some romantic gestures are believed to be outdated, with 39 percent of women saying that they would prefer it if a man didn't help them put their coat on.
Newsweek is waiting for a comment from Ashli Bogert.
