Internet Melts at Man's Reaction When Wife Changes Look—'He's Losing It'

A video shared on Instagram has garnered viral attention for its portrayal of a heartwarming moment between a couple.

Instagram influencer Sarah, @sarah_bee, posted a video revealing her newly dyed hair to her husband, rendering him speechless. Since February 8, the video, which can be seen here, has received over 7.7 million views and more than 285,000 likes.

In the video, Sarah's husband was visibly shocked after seeing her new red hair, a change from her previous blonde locks, with an onscreen caption reading: "He's losing it." He slammed his drinking glass on the table—breaking it—as his mouth dropped.

"I feel like I'm in a dream," he said. "That is unreal ... this is fake. I was fine until you walked in."

"If eyes could actually pop out of your head lol," Sarah captioned the video.

His initial shock eventually turned into happiness, and he expressed his admiration for her new look.

"I'm going to say it: It's better than your blonde hair ... I'm serious, I didn't think I was going to think that," he said.

Calling Sarah a "hot red head," he held her and examined her new look in disbelief as she laughed at his reaction.

Viewers of the clip—and followers of Sarah's account—responded positively, with many leaving supportive comments.

"I agree with the hubby! It's prettier on you!" user @pulsatingknowitall44 said.

"How to make your husband fall in love all over again," @daily_dose_of_clararose wrote.

It's common knowledge that compliments can enrich a relationship, but it's also scientifically proven.

The Gottman Institute, led by Dr. Gottman and Robert Levenson, has been conducting research about relationship dynamics for over 40 years. Their research revealed a "magic ratio" for happy couples to affirm and encourage one another: five compliments to one negative interaction. They found that happy couples say around 20 positive things for every negative thing.

Beyond compliments about physical appearance, the researchers encourage couples to show affection and interest towards their partner's characteristics, hobbies and perspectives.

Still, regardless of the type of compliment, the practice of giving them can benefit both the giver and receiver.

Research has shown that the givers of compliments often underestimate how good it makes the receivers feel. The givers also experience improved mood through this interaction.

As Sarah's video continues to circulate, it serves as a reminder of the power of compliments and affirmation in relationships. Sarah and her husband's exchange resonated with viewers, showing that small moments can still strike a chord amongst big crowds—and that Sarah's red hair might be here to stay.
