They say laughter is the best medicine, and within a relationship, this is certainly true. Laughter relieves stress and makes you feel happier.
There are many benefits to including humour in your relationship. It helps you to form a stronger bond with someone and binds you together.
If there is tension in a relationship, maybe after a disagreement, a well-timed joke can ease the atmosphere and help resolve the situation.
Sometimes, it’s about putting things into perspective and a bit of light humour can help you realise things are not as bad as they first seemed.
Remember the humour can be a positive and negative tool, so be careful. Making snide remarks and then saying someone cannot take a joke can cause even more issues and hurt a relationship. This is true when telling a joke, both parties have to be in on the joke.
