Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

Laughing with others

Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting. All emotional sharing builds strong and lasting relationship bonds, but sharing laughter and play adds joy, vitality, and resilience. And humor is a powerful and effective way to heal resentments, disagreements, and hurts. Laughter unites people during difficult times.


Using humor and laughter in relationships allows you to:


• Be more spontaneous. Humor gets you out of your head and away from your troubles.


• Let go of defensiveness. Laughter helps you forget judgments, criticisms, and doubts.


• Release inhibitions. Your fear of holding back and holding on are set aside.


• Express your true feelings. Deeply felt emotions are allowed to rise to the surface.

The Little Things

 

All couples get married expecting that their relationship will remain as warm, loving, and intimate as it was on their wedding day. And for many couples, it does. There's no secret and no luck involved: These couples have simply learned to devote time and attention to their marriage. Not just sometimes, but every day.
You see, it's not diamonds and flowers that make a marriage, but the little things. Each morning, he makes you coffee, while you make sure the freezer is always stocked with his favorite ice cream. You're still spontaneous, taking a Friday afternoon off to explore the countryside and stop at an out-of-the-way roadhouse for lunch. You're each other's best friend, there when things go right -- or wrong -- but still appreciate your time apart.

 .

Above all, you learn through the years to accept each other's shortcomings and to forgive each other for transgressions both large and small.

The good news is that in any relationship, particularly an intimate one, taking small, simple steps can bring big results.  Most fall in the category of what we can identify as "random acts of romance."

Be creative..you're sure to find more than a few ways to keep your love alive, vital, and evergreen, no matter how long you've been brushing your teeth side by side

There is more than one way to skin a cat!

It has been a known fact that the women in a relationship, a wife, a mother, girlfriend, or sisters are the ones that push and prod their male loved ones to see a doctor for that pain, to eat more greens, to get more exercise,  to go get that eye test, go to the dentist etc…..All the pushing and prodding out of love is an attempt to find a way to motivate their hubbie to take better care of himself so he will be around a little longer. This is a primary reason why married men are healthier, in general, and tend to live longer.

There is always more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. Going for the sure thing with us guys an ingenious wife and mother developed this little chart. Above is an eye chart "Just for Men" . One motivator down ladies..nice going!
