Love and Laughter

What is the real meaning of Love and Laughter? Who do you love and who makes you laugh? A lot of people oftentimes say they are in love but do they know what love means?


Love is a virtue. It also refers to a variety of different feelings towards people, animals or things. It ranges from pleasure ( I love my bag or I love my new shoes) to personal (I love him,/her). Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. Love can be anybody's survival instinct.


While love is a virtue, laughter on the other side is a part of human behavior regulated by the brain, helping humans clarify their intention in social interaction and providing an emotional context to conversations. Laughter is a reaction to certain stimuli. It is considered as a visual expression of happiness,  an inward feeling of joy.


Laughter is sometimes contagious. 



One of the spices in a relationship is humor. Whether it be boyfriend girlfriend, husband wife or just plain friends. People who laughs together are attracted to each other. 


Love and laughter goes hand in hand. You share each others' joke, thoughts, your day, just anything under the sun.


If a couple decides to do what the other one does, they will repel from each other. They will no longer be attracted to each other, no more feeling of necessity in the relationship. Then they begin to built a wall in between without noticing it. They start finding or filling what each one needs and not what they both need. As they start this process and goes on and on and on, the relationship is also slowly breaking. That leads boyfriend girlfriend breakup and marriage to divorce.


Couples can always extend each others' activity just simply getting involve. 


Give and take - don't just do what you like, ask what your partner likes to do, switch places, learn to listen and don't just do the talking.


Show recognition - compliment each other, simply say "you look good on your shirt, you smell good (not that he/she smells bad everyday), the food taste good (if they were the ones who cooked it and even if it's obviously burnt). 


Make each other laugh - I believe that laughter is always the best medicine. Imagine tickling yourself (sure you can tickle yourself right at this moment), you won't laugh instead you'll find it very strange tickling yourself even at your ticklish part. If you tickle somebody or somebody tickles you, you burst into laughter. Why? Because you cannot satisfy yourself but something or somebody will.


Know what your partner, friend or pet needs - When was the last time you ask them what they want to do, where they want to eat, where they want to go? Or is it always "let's go there", "let's do this", "i think this and that...etc...etc..."? Remember, it takes two to tango!


Listen - It is always important to listen no matter what the stories are or what sentiments they have. Sometimes a person tells you things because they need to let out what they feel, good or bad, happy or sad. They need a listener and not somebody to judge them or make the situation worse. Just listen. Do not give any unsolicited advice.


Love and laughter is always the key to a healthy and long lasting relationship, of course putting God in the middle of your relationship is the best all the time. It does not matter who said what, who hurt who, what matters is, you understand each other and apologize if it is called.
