With all the stories of audaciously insensitive partners and toxic relationships we can hear about every day, it can be easy to start feeling down on the prospects of finding true love.
But as the old saying goes, “no news is good news” and that can work in reverse as the most dramatic relationships tend to be the most accentuated when we talk to each other. After all, it’s a lot easier to get engrossed in those kinds of stories than it is when we hear about quiet contentment.

However, not every sign of a positive and loving relationship needs to be so understated. Spouses can be just as dramatic and compelling when they’re defending the people they love and especially when they’re making a major sacrifice to support their soulmates.
At the same time, there can be beauty in a loving couple’s everyday habits as well. And considering how much sleep means to so many of us, I can’t imagine too many people arguing that one wholesome dad isn’t making a sacrifice of his own.
In a TikTok released on February 10, a woman named Eden Kim revealed that ever since the birth of her new baby Ezra, her husband has stopped at nothing to ensure she gets eight hours of sleep every night.
And since life with a new baby isn’t usually one that’s conducive to regular sleep, this means that it’s not uncommon for him to get about four hours of sleep each night.
From the very beginning, Kim didn’t let his actions go unnoticed, but also didn’t think that was something he should have to do.
But as she explained, he was going to keep doing it no matter what she said.
In Kim’s words, “At first, I felt guilty but he insisted and explained it to me like this.”
He then told her that this was about doing his part to ease the struggles of motherhood for her.
Specifically, Kim recalled him saying, “There are so many burdens you carry that I could not. All the burdens of pregnancy, birth, recovery, breastfeeding. Lack of sleep and late nights with the baby is the only burden I can take from you. So why in the world would I not?”
Naturally, his behavior and his reason for doing it melted not only Kim’s heart, but those of her viewers.
In a follow-up video , Kim shared a comment noting that not only is the husband doing a lot to support his wife and show his kids some valuable quality time, but he’s also setting a great example for the kind of men they can be.
That person said this will help them learn to be a team with their partners if they start their own families, and Kim said she will also do her part in this respect by not standing idly by if they turn out to neglect or disrespect their spouses.
As she put it, “I see too many moms making excuses for their full grown sons and putting undeserved blame on the partner.”
