Maintain a sense of humor from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.

One of the key principles for a successful marriage is the ability to maintain a sense of humor. This doesn't mean that everything has to be a joke, but rather, it's about being able to find lightness and laughter in everyday moments. When couples are able to laugh together, it helps to create a sense of connection and shared joy. Humor can also be a powerful tool for diffusing tension and conflict. When things get heated, being able to inject some humor into the situation can help to break the cycle of negativity and bring a sense of perspective back into the relationship. It can help couples to step back from the intensity of the moment and see things from a different, more lighthearted angle. Furthermore, having a sense of humor can help to create a more positive atmosphere in the relationship. Laughter has been shown to reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness, which can in turn strengthen the bond between partners. When couples are able to laugh together, it creates a sense of intimacy and closeness that can help to sustain the relationship through difficult times. In addition, humor can be a way for couples to show appreciation and affection for one another. Making each other laugh is a way of saying "I see you, I understand you, and I love you." It can be a way of acknowledging each other's quirks and imperfections in a gentle and loving way. By sharing laughter, couples can create a sense of warmth and acceptance in the relationship.
  1. Maintaining a sense of humor in a marriage is about more than just telling jokes or being funny. It's about creating an atmosphere of lightness, joy, and connection that can help to strengthen the bond between partners. By finding moments of laughter and shared humor in everyday life, couples can create a more positive and resilient relationship that can weather the ups and downs of life together.
