Does your marriage feel like it’s lacking a certain spark? Well, maybe it’s time to inject some laughter into your relationship! As they say, laughter is the best medicine, and it turns out that there are plenty of reasons why couples who laugh together, stay together.

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of laughter in a marriage.

Quality of Life

First and foremost, laughter can significantly improve your overall quality of life. When you laugh with your spouse and feel happy, your perspective on life changes. You start to notice the positive things around you and develop a more optimistic outlook. And who doesn’t want to be around someone who radiates positivity?

Physical Benefits

Laughter is not only good for the soul but also for the body. It strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, reduces pain, and reduces stress. So the next time you’re feeling a little under the weather or stressed out, turn on your favorite comedy show or movie, and let the laughter do its magic.

Adds Excitement to the Marriage

Laughter adds an element of excitement and romance to your relationship. You don’t need to be as crazy as the “Impractical Jokers” (unless you want to), but playing pranks on each other, telling funny jokes, and sharing embarrassing stories can make your marriage feel like it’s brand new. Keep the laughter flowing, and you’ll feel like you’re in the honeymoon phase forever.

I remember when Amy and I first got married, she was in the shower and I snuck up and poured a bucket of ice water on her. I thought it was funny but.. she didn’t. She told me if I ever did that again, I wouldn’t be “getting any” for a long time. Be careful what kind of jokes or pranks you play on each other 🙂

Helps in Difficult or Stressful Times

Laughter can also be an escape during difficult or stressful times. Sharing humor with your partner can ease tension and help you both get through tough situations. Laughter increases the flow of oxygen in the body, helps with your body’s stress response, and relieves tension in the body. So when life kicks your butt (which it will), put on your favorite comedy and try to laugh it off.

Helps You Reconnect and Have Fun

Finally, laughter is a great way to reconnect with your spouse and have fun. Some of your most memorable moments as a couple probably involve laughter and having fun. Whether it’s game nights or just joking around, laughter has a way of connecting you and reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.
