Keeping Relationships Healthy by Taking the Best Medicine
There are countless options out there fore couples struggling with fidelity, communication, and a slew of other relationship problems. Even still, couples are breaking up at an alarming rate. This is really something that many people consider to be a final option – something done when the relationship is beyond saving. The shame is, of course, couples never intend to split. Everyone thinks they’ll be healthy and happy in their partnership.
Undoubtedly, the best way to keep your relationship healthy is to act preemptively to make sure you’re doing whatever you can to keep the binding ties strong and secure. One of the best things you can do as a couple to stay happy is to take some of the world’s best medicine: Laughter.
It may seem slightly trivial, but it’s a fact that laughter equals happiness and happiness equals togetherness. Couples that can laugh and have a genuinely good time have the advantage of spending time constructively. They’re feeding their soul with happy thoughts and thus cutting back on arguments, jealously, overbearing behavior, and other factors that can damage a relationship.
Now, no one is suggesting that anyone go out and take stand-up comedy classes for an audience of one. Instead, we’ll look at the “fun” approach to introduce some laughter into the relationship. One important fact to remember: laughter doesn’t only stem from something “funny”; it can come from feeling genuinely happy.
This means your options are virtually limitless. But for the sake of argument, let’s start out with the proverbial comedy.
When’s the last time you went to watch a movie? Most women want to see the household tear-jerker. Most guys want the action flicks. And while these two choices can be compromised, with one sacrificing to watch another’s movie, either is damaging to the relationship. Tear-jerkers bring about thoughts of dread and a bad mood, while action flicks rile up the testosterone levels and bring about brutish sensitivity. Try watching a legitimate comedy (PG-13 or lower suggested) and see the difference.
Another great way to introduce laughter into a relationship is to go on some type of vacation – skiing, to the beach, zoo, etc. You can also go catch a Vegas show, visit a carnival or fair, or any other place that will offer some thrills and some happy emotions. These are great ideas to keep your relationship healthy.
It’s up to you to be creative. Simply sitting around and reliving some of your funniest times can be enough to keep the laughter in the relationship. It’s something you’ll have to work on, but the end result is more than worth it.
