[48.Fixing Relationship Problems with Humor]
We've all heard that laughter is the best medicine,
and it's true.
Laughter relieves tension and stress,
elevates mood,
enhances creativity,
and boosts energy.
Laughter also plays an essential role in building strong,
healthy relationships by bringing people closer together,
creating intimacy,
and resolving conflict and disagreements.
Whether you're dating or in a long-term relationship,
you can learn to use humor and play
to strengthen the bond between you and help you fix relationship problems.
Humor plays an important role in relationships
from initial attraction to long-term commitment.
In new relationships,
humor can be an effective tool
not just for attracting the other person
but also for overcoming any awkwardness or embarrassment
that arises during dating
and the process of getting to know one another.
In longer-term relationships,
humor can keep things exciting, fresh, and vibrant.
It can also help you overcome conflicts, disagreements,
and the tiny aggravations than can build up over time
and wreck even the strongest of relationships.
Sharing the pleasure of humor
creates a sense of intimacy and connection between two people
---qualities that define solid,
successful relationships.
When you laugh with one another,
you create a positive bond between you.
This bond acts as a strong protection
against stress, disagreements, disappointments,
and bad patches in a relationship.
And laughter really is contagious
---just hearing someone laugh prepares you to smile
and join in on the fun.
But don't worry
if you're not naturally a lighthearted, humorous person
---you can learn to access your playful side
and develop your sense of fun.
