Studies have shown that couples who share a sense of humor and regularly engage in playful banter and teasing are more likely to have greater satisfaction in their relationship.

Laughter is a powerful tool. It strengthens the bond between two people, and helps to build resilience in the face of chaos.

But a love that laughs is not just about finding humor in the everyday.

It’s about being able to share in the joys and celebrations of life with a sense of joy and lots of smiles.

Whether it’s celebrating a promotion at work, a milestone anniversary, or the birth of a child, being able to share in these moments with laughter and playfulness can make them all the more special.

Of course, there will be times when life’s challenges are overwhelming, and it may be difficult to find humor in the midst of struggle.

But even in these moments, a love that laughs can help to provide the strength and support needed to get through.

1. Find the light-hearted moments – You find what you search for. So look for something that can lessen the tension. And if both of you are looking, imagine the chemistry of giggles.
2. Lessen the overwhelm with laughter – Which would you prefer, a bucket of overwhelm or a bundle of giggles? Life is not easy. We weren’t promised that it would be. So instead of always working yourself up over stuff you can’t control or change in the moment, lessen that overwhelm with laughter. Break your silence.
3. Laugh about your quirks – No one is perfect. So stop trying to be. You have control of how you act out. Instead of buying into all of the labels of this world, buy into all your quirks. Be silly! Don’t take yourself so literally.

Share in the joys of life with a sense of playfulness while building a strong foundation in your marriage.

A love that laughs is a love that endures.

PRAYER: May your love for your spouse reach beyond the feelings which originally captivated your heart. Create new webs of engagements by extending your love through giggles and belly laughs. Thank you, Lord, for this gift of laughter that brings joy to marriage.
