#5: Make it Fun


You’ve probably heard about the many health benefits of laughter and having fun in your life so I’ll get to the point. The greatest value of ensuring you have plenty of fun-filled times in your relationship is that it is a huge stress-reliever.   It is so easy to get pulled into our never-ending to do lists and deadlines and all the stresses and anxieties that come with them. Once you’re feeling stressed-out and on edge, it is also easy to take it on those closest to you, including your significant other. A sense of humor can help reduce stress and help you relax. If you or your significant other happens to be a comedian at heart then thank your lucky stars. If not, there are ways you can help lighten the mood, like watching a funny flick, playing a game, or finding some humor is your daily activities.

I am lucky in that my husband and I not only make each other laugh often but we have also learned to look for the funnies in our daily activities. In addition, raising our children has provided us with more than enough fun opportunities. It’s all about being in the moment and learning how to enjoy the simple things in spite of everything else.
