Quality Time

The Role of Humor in Long-Term Relationships

The Role of Humor in Long-Term Relationships

Looking at the most outstanding times during my courtship, I realize that we mostly had fun. Some of the things that made us laugh include; a simple comment that was made at the perfect moment, light mockery when everything seemed wrong, and those moments when we could do nothing but laugh hysterically – even now I wonder why this happened! This is because throughout our love life, there has always existed some kind of an emotional connection kept by humor. Love can be very profound and grave but on my journey I have come to realize that without humor it would have been heavy going most of the time.

At the start of a relationship, being funny seems natural. The beginning is all about new experiences and having fun so people can easily make fun of each other’s characteristics or share jokes which help them bond. Nevertheless, with each passing year there is an increase in various duties such as work assignments, house work, children upbringing, financial plans and sometimes taking care of old ones too. The normal weight gain over time may be a problem too; hence there could be less laughter now than before. It was at such moments when I understood that one does not simply have humor added to his relationships – it should be an integral part thereof. In this article I will reflect on how humor features in my relationship and why laughing together can promote closeness and strengthen people’s ability to overcome challenges while remaining happy in enduring relationships.
