Humor is an alluring sexiness. In marriage, learning to use humor to create happiness can both keep love fresh and create a relaxed and joyful family atmosphere. How can you keep smiling in your married life? The French magazine *Women* invited marriage counseling experts to offer five "golden keys to a happy marriage."
Sharing others' humor
Couples should learn to find joy in the humor and wit of others. You can go to a comedy show together, stay home and watch a comedy film you both enjoy, or listen to your friends' funny stories. This kind of effortless happiness can help you spend quality time together, relieve the stress and tension of the day, and leave you in a good mood before bed. It's recommended to watch romantic comedies together; while laughing heartily, you can also gain more advice on how to maintain a good relationship.
Rediscovering Childhood Games
Occasionally, revert to being a playful big kid, finding the purest and most exciting joy in simple games. Shed your glamorous suits and dazzling jewelry, and engage in a competitive game with your partner, such as a water gun fight, competing for a small toy, or playing cards with sticky notes. In this joyful atmosphere, you can shake off the day's fatigue and worries, and it also opens the door to intimacy. However, remember that games are for fun, not for winning or losing; avoid games that create tension.
Learn to make fun of yourself appropriately
Don't be afraid of being laughed at. On the contrary, your loved one will see your humility and wisdom in your self-deprecation. With this spirit of self-sacrifice, you will become even more selfless and lovable in their eyes. Generally, women have stronger analytical skills and a greater sense of humor, allowing them to create a relaxed and casual atmosphere. If a man can recognize his own little flaws and make a self-deprecating joke in front of his wife, she will likely change her usual frown and smile happily—wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
Recalling interesting scenes
Funny scenes and humorous stories from the past are all elements of happiness worth remembering. French psychologist and sociologist Doris Bazney once said: Having happy memories and recalling them with your partner in the future makes a marriage last longer. This is because sharing past happiness is a form of generosity, a willingness to offer laughter to your partner, and an expression of love. This joy can stem from someone else's joke, your own playful banter, or a fun experience.
Making humor during an argument
Try making a funny face or mimicking their expression when they're furious, or say something funny while smiling. Remember, your intention isn't to make fun of them, but to amuse yourself and ease the tension. After all, using humor and expressing humor is about adding positive energy to the home, making yourself happy, and making your loved one happy too.
