7 Days To Open Up Your LifeExemplo

Laughing

Building intimacy in marriage is hard work—you might as well have a little fun along the way!
 

(And no, that doesn't necessarily mean sex [though it doesn't not mean sex!]).
 

No, joy and laughter together build intimacy. When you first fell in love with your spouse, it's entirely likely that you bonded over laughter. Making someone laugh is often one of the first things that attracts us to someone.   
 

But over time, as the day-in, day-out work of marriage becomes the month-in, month-out and then the year-in, year-out work, it's easy to forget to laugh.
 

So if you haven't laughed with your spouse in a while, seek to find out why. Is there a conflict between the two of you? Or has life just gotten in the way?
 

Once you have it diagnosed, get creative and laugh again. Watch a funny movie or television show. Play (harmless!) pranks on one another. Get in a pun war. Do whatever: just start laughing and let the joy build and build.
