How important is humor to you? Not the ability to tell jokes per se. The ability to see the humor in different situations no mater how trying or difficult. In my family humor was always important. Not just with my parents, but when I became a parent as well.
Being divorced I always check to see if the person I am interested in has a sense of humor. Not only the ability to see the humor in situations and people, but the ability to laugh at themselves. It is a very handy tool to use through life.
Life situations can often end up stressful, not necessarily by intent. If you are short tempered and do not see the humor in situations, it can cost you.
Think about this for an instance. Would you rather meet someone who has a temper or a sense of humor? Which will be more productive and enjoyable in the long run?
My parents were married for 54 years when my father died. My mother would always say that anyone who said a couple does not have disagreements is lying. Or one of them is a slave to the whims of the other. Very true. I saw my parents disagree or if you want to call it that, argue.
My father cold always get my mother to laugh. Or at least smile. It made a huge difference to the two of them and to me. I passed the love of humor and developing a sense of humor on to my three children and it has been passed on to my grandson.
When a relationship gets stressful for whatever reason, either financial, geography, or personal beliefs it's important to be able to laugh at yourself. True, it can sometimes be difficult at the actual moment, but you can do it if you try.
Besides, if you have a sense of humor and can make people laugh, people are glad to see you. When my father died, tons of people showed up for the wake. He was well known in the city even though he was not in politics, and never wanted to be although others did want him to run for office. So many times that evening people came up to my mother and me to offer their condolences and said consistently, "We are really gonna miss Joe. He knew how to make people laugh!"
I remember as a child people always smiled when they saw him. That happens often with me as well. And I like the feeling.
Like the old saying goes, laughter is the best medicine--in any kind of situation or relationship.
Is laughter important to you in a relationship? Do you enjoy someone who can make you smile and laugh?
