Add fun and laughter to your relationship

When a relationship is starting, when you go from just hanging out as singles to becoming a unit of some sort, there’s usually a lot of laughing, a lot of fun going on in the relationship. This is the romantic stage of a relationship where both of you have a lot of love and life, and it’s a lot of fun to be together.

However, as the relationship grows, it tends to deepen and the whole feeling of being high begins to fade. This is the stage where the need to be individuals begins to rear its head again and power struggles begin. This is the time in every relationship where fun, play, and laughter begin to take a backseat. The spontaneous game of the moment, the spontaneous laughter that breaks out at odd moments, become progressively less frequent. The added element of security that comes with a stable relationship acts as a brake on the human brain when it comes to fun.

Most people think that fun, intimacy, and laughter are natural, so they should be left to the natural circumstances of our lives. This, however, almost never works. As the daily stresses mount, as we become more and more involved in work, in our other activities, we tend to take our relationship and our partner more and more for granted. We drift further and further away from our old, playful selves. Therefore, it is imperative that couples give him time and attention. They need to address this issue with their conscious mind and make a conscious decision to create time for fun and play. Program fun. This may seem like a strange concept, but it works. Most of us are so busy that we don’t really have time for fun on a day-to-day basis. And if we can schedule time to be with friends, children and for work, why not have fun?

Laughter and play are important to the mental health of anyone, at any age. People who laugh more and have more fun are demonstrably better when it comes to mental and physical health. Set goals to fit in at least five minutes of laughing, rolling on the floor, guffawing out loud, every day. Find some way to induce a good dose of laughter and play in your daily life, as a couple. Also, try some fun recreational activity or do something playful with your partner at least once a week. Go out, do something simple and fun, go on a date. Try to spend at least half of your total free time on couple activities, things you can do together. Playing together and having fun together is important to your individual mental health, as well as the health of your relationship.

Laughter releases endorphins, your body’s natural pain relievers, and gives you a rush. It’s also a great way to connect with your partner on another level. Take a few days off from time to time and enjoy a fun vacation. Do whatever makes you feel connected and brings fun and laughter into your equation. Find something that you both enjoy, but haven’t had time for in a long time.

Laugh at yourself. Anytime you find yourself taking yourself too seriously, give yourself a mental shake. Look at the two of you and the situation as a stranger and find the humor in the situation. Choose to laugh instead of getting angry.
