Why Humor Is The Key To Success In Relationships?

The School Of Life is always doing amazing videos explaining life. This one is about humor in relationships. We made this post for you to get the highlights faster, in case you don’t have enough time.

When it comes to relationships, there is a key factor that will help you maintain it, and that is humor. In order for a relationship to last, both parties should always keep a fun and playful attitude. But why, exactly?

It isn’t because we need entertainment. I mean, there is a lot of great comedians, TV shows, jokes, memes, and so many other sources of amusement out there. By the same token, that can’t reason then.

As a matter of fact, humor is that important because it is the only way for two people to stand each other for such a long time. Simply because, when you continuously spend the majority of your time with someone that person begins to annoy you for quite almost everything.

Consequently, we might make A LOT of complaints, and what’s even worse; complaint in a rude way or tone, which will do nothing more than upsetting and even destroying our beloved partner. And that is something that no one wants to do to their other half, right?

Of course, if something is bothering you, or maybe he or she is doing something that you don’t like at all; you have to say it. Otherwise, a little problem could quickly escalate into an unfixable issue. Furthermore, humor comes again into the equation. For example, instead of pointing out a situation with a strict and severe tone, you should use humor. Because it is the only way, you can criticize something without the person feeling accused or irritated.

There is a tactic called “kindly comic exaggeration”; A.K.A. the tactic that we should put to practice whenever in a relationship.  In fact, the strategy is useful to point out the failings of the other individual. When you exaggerate a small problem the other person will see it for what it is; an overreaction. The speech should be three things: chirpy, with a playful twitch, and relaxed.

When used correctly, this trick will succeed in having a healthier and more secure relation. Especially, if we allow the other person involved to magnify our own failings into jokes.
