Laughter in a relationship is essential | Why it’s important to joke around

In the spirit of April Fools Day, I wanted to talk a bit about laughter in a relationship.

The sound of laughter in a relationship is somehow different than regular laughter. It’s almost as if there’s a hint of sweetness that comes along with it.

When you and your partner come across something funny, or make each other laugh, there’s a comfortability that comes with it. A feeling of ease.

In fact, I would even say laughter in any relationship is essential.

Laughter equals happiness

When people are happy, don’t they just laugh a lot more. It’s easier to laugh at things because things are more light hearted.

But what about the reverse?

Would laughing more cause you to be happier? If so, then wouldn’t it make sense that partners who laugh together are happier?

I think that it makes sense. That’s why I think it’s important to try and keep things casual and lighthearted.

Sure, of course it’s important to take things seriously, but it creates the space for laughter to happen when you keep things light.

I love the sound of laughter

One of my favourite things about my relationship is that there’s always laughter. Whether it’s me telling a joke, or her doing an impression, we always manage to find a chuckle here and there.

I never thought much of it in the past, because I didn’t really experience it often.

This relationship has definitely been very different. It’s like a best friendship, where we’re always trying to make each other laugh.

I’d like to think that it means we like seeing each other happy, seeing each other smile.

I think that’s something we need more of in today’s society. A desire to see each other happy rather than make each other feel less.

If you love somebody, you want to see their smile and hear the sound of their laughter.

Laughter is important in any relationship

Whether it’s a working relationship, a family relationship, friends, romantic, any relationship can benefit from keeping things light and full of laughter.

It lets everybody involved know that it’s okay to laugh and be happy. It’s alright to enjoy.

I know this is a short one, but I hope that you got a little smile from reading any of this, and that you make someone laugh today.

What is something you’ve done to try and make someone laugh?
