Humor and Marriage

Does humor have a place in marriage? What's so funny anyway? Actually, humor belongs in most places--except perhaps at a funeral. Two people that live together day in and day out and face everyday issues of life, need some humor. You need to let your hair down and be silly at times. It keeps a relationship honest and loving. It also keeps one's marriage from getting boring. Plus, as everyone knows, laughter is good for you.

If you or your spouse are not folks that laugh easily, then learn how. Watch funny movies together. Read aloud from joke books. Do whatever you have to to learn how to laugh at funny things and better yet, to laugh at yourself. If we take ourselves too seriously, we are doomed to become depressed because we are not flawless human beings. You can hold yourself to high standards, but laugh at your shortcomings.
