Playfulness In Our Marriage

Hi, thanks for stopping by.  I know you must be new here, because I am new. Please check out My Story to get to know me better or subscribe here. Welcome!

I was thinking about it the other day, and I realized one of the secrets to my marriage is our playfulness, our ability  to have fun and laugh, is such a big thing. 

My hubby and I can make up jokes just about anything. We can just look at each other and laugh. Our minds are in synch and we know just know what one another are thinking. I guess you can say we have our own inside jokes.  The two of us know how to laugh at each other, or about ourselves.  

Being silly and knowing how to laugh is definitely what gets us through those 

hard times.

I have to admit my husband is the funny one of the family, so all of the playfulness  usually starts from him. When he goes away for a business trip you can feel the house just isn't the same without him. 

The thing that I love about him is his sense of humor.  Not only does he know how to make me laugh, but he also knows how to get serious and take care of business, the way the man of the house should. I come to greatly appreciate these qualities in him.  

Like I said my hubby is the funny one so I had to learn how to be more playful from him. Now don't get me wrong I know how to have a good time, but often I get so focused on a task, and forget how to have a little fun.

Here's a little advice from someone who had to learn: It starts with not taking everything so seriously, add in a little playfulness and imagination, and you are left with lots of laughter.

This point is also important for our kids to see.  They need to know that they can have fun with their parents too.  I can already see my children beginning to develop their own sense of humor.  They tell jokes and have silly behaviors that make them special.  I am so happy that our home is an environment that is open enough for my children to be as silly as they want to be.  They also know the difference between the right and wrong time for fun.

They say laughter is like medicine to our souls, now I know Jesus is the only true medicine to our souls, but laughter can definitely do some work inside of us.  

Just a little side note we also need to remember to have some fun and playfulness in the bedroom as well. This is how God designed it. This tip can bring a whole new perspective when it comes to the intimacy in our marriages. 

Sometimes we may have to think back to when we were kids and remember how to be carefree just for a little while. 

It's funny(no pun intended) how a little bit of fun and a lot of laughter can help you build a stronger marriage.

Be Blessed. Be Happy!
