One man displayed tremendous love, care and kindness for his wife when she could no longer apply makeup to her face.

Marriage is a beautiful, life-long commitment made between two people. While standing at the altar before their friends and family, those two individuals vow to remain together for better or worse, sickness and health. They are to lift up and encourage each other when life becomes too much and weighs them down.

A short clip posted on Instagram shows the kind of commitment and love the Lord likely envisioned when He created the institution of marriage. It’s a video that will likely cause even the most stoic and emotionless person to shed a tear or two or three. 

The video shows a husband sitting before his wife. Her hands are constantly trembling. Sadly, because of her condition, she cannot put makeup on herself. This, as the video states, had gotten her feeling down and discouraged. But her loving husband, wanting to put a smile back on his wife’s face, hired a makeup artist to teach him how to do it properly.

The makeup artist sits off to the side, guiding and directing the husband as he carefully and intently follows her words. Once he applies makeup to one of her eyes, he looks back at the makeup artist and asks for reassurance.

“Is that good?” he asks.

“I just don’t feel right without my makeup on,” the wife says.

Next, the man lovingly and lightly grabs his wife’s face as he delicately puts lipstick on her. 

After completing the tutorial, the makeup artist informs the caring husband that he did a “really good job.”

The husband greatly appreciated her words, as signaled by his body language. His shoulders instantly relaxed, likely indicating that he was nervous because he badly wanted to bring a smile back to his wife’s face. 

After the husband is finished putting the makeup on her face, he holds up a mirror for the wife to inspect his work. She is instantly brought to tears, overwhelmed with the love and kindness that they have shown her.

“Oh, honey, I look beautiful,” she says. “I look like myself now!”

What a beautiful display of love and kindness.
