If your in a relationship and you both are like cringing when you see each other, or otherwise in a bad distemper with each other, then you need some humor.

Here is the number one way that I found to make my husband not only smile when we are mad at one another, but it REALLY makes the making up fun. I get two chairs, and sit them both facing each other. He takes off all his cloths then so do I and we each sit in a chair facing one another and see how long we can stay mad. I guarantee it won't be for long.

Now, the other day my husband and I went fishing. It had been raining quite a bit here in Texas. I walked on what I thought was sure footed grounding but went in a sink hole up to my waist. Not a pretty site for an old grand mother, but it made my day because it made me feel young again. It did not, however, make my husband feel humorous. I told him that was why he had so many heart problems. Because he takes all the small things to serious.
Later on, when he was watching me struggle near the river with mud still clinging to my clothes, trying to get some liver on a hook, he started laughing.

You really need to take the good with the bad. If something your loved one does to irk you up, just think of something funny and remember, there is probably something that you do that irks them up just as bad.

People are different. Don't sweat the small stuff in your relationship, but love the one your with for the reasons you are with them to begin with.

Remember... For good or bad, in sickness and in health, for rich or poor, till death do us part.
