Wife asked for a spray tan and her husband's response was the ultimate ‘If He Wanted To, He Would’ move

Many people complain about their partners not paying enough attention, leading to tension in relationships. In fact, a major cause of marital struggles is when couples stop understanding each other’s emotional needs. Defying the odds, a man has set an example of the ideal husband by ensuring his actions mattered more than his words. His wife and content creator, Sarah Baus—who goes by @sarahebaus on TikTok—shared how she hated the saying “if he wanted to, he would” until she found a pleasant surprise from the love of her life. A widely circulating video showed the woman heaping praises on her husband for going out of his way to learn spray tanning for her, leaving the internet in stitches.

It all began when Baus asked her husband for a spray tan subscription as a Christmas gift. Instead of spending money on the expensive service, he decided to become a certified spray tanner by enrolling in a board certification class. “You always hear people saying, ‘If he wanted to, he would.’ I hate saying that, except for the fact that I asked for it for Christmas,” the video creator claimed, adding that she had expected something as simple as a spray tan subscription from her partner. However, Baus went on to say that each tanning session would cost them a hefty $70 payment, excluding tips.

“Instead of doing that, my husband went out and got an entire spray tan kit, a spray tan tent and then onboarded a certification class,” the content creator was heard saying in the nearly two-minute footage. She further claimed that her partner arrived at the decision considering several factors. The board-certified tanner husband wanted to ensure that his wife could get a spray tan at home. “He (the husband) taught himself to do spray tans,” Baus continued, adding that he even applied tanning solution on her. She shared her feedback, saying, “I didn't have to go anywhere and he did a damn good job.”

Lauding her husband’s efforts, the wife said, “I have the embodiment of ‘if he wanted to, he would’ in my home. He was really nervous doing this first one. But, it came out beautifully.” Notably, the man paid $300 for his entire tanning hobby, which included expenses for the kit, tent, as well as certification. “Not to completely brag. He's also read all the Sarah J. Mass books and is a founding member of our book club,” Baus told her 866K followers on the social platform. The content creator’s insightful take on her husband’s out-of-box initiative managed to draw widespread attention on social media, garnering 1.1 million views. Among the countless reactions it received, @shannonlei83 asserted, “As a nation, we need to protect this man at all costs.” “I went through a bad time with no money and kept a note of every crazy meal I fantasized about while starving. He found it, learned to cook, and for a year, made every single item on that list,” @loveladylilith recalled.
