Have you ever dated someone who was so boring you thought you might cry? No matter how much you tried to make them laugh they just wouldn't. If they weren't boring, they were down right serious all the time. That is not a good way to be. It is hard to date someone who never laughs or smile, you always wonder if you did something wrong to upset them. That is usually the way they appear. They would either have a straight lined mouth, or a frowning face. Someone who is serious never gets your jokes, and it may cause an argument between you. You don't want to seem snobbish or cold to your partner in a relationship, so having at least a little bit of humor can help out the relationship.

Humor is a great thing to have in a relationship, it will living things up, and keep your partner guessing. They wouldn't know what you are going to say or do next. It will make it harder for the relationship to grow old if you share humor between the both of you.

If you can share humor in a relationship it is also harder to keep up an argument, you both might end up in fits of laughter since one or the other would say something funny while the other was trying to be serious. After the laughing has died down, you would be able to talk about the problem without any arguing.

Humor believe it or not makes a relationship closer. You won't always be walking on egg shells around each other, afraid of what the other might say or do. You know they won't take things the wrong way if you make a joke about appearances, family or whatever comes to mind. They may even have a comeback for you. There is more love shared between them also, when they have humor in their relationship. A great relationship will have a decent amount of humor along with the seriousness. Everything balances out in a good relationship.

You will also share communication more in the relationship if you have humor. Maybe one of you are tired and just don't know what to talk about. With humor, you really don't need words, just doing something funny will get a laugh which will eventually end with conversation, maybe cuddling, or land you both in the bedroom. You need humor to keep a relationship alive, making each other laugh warms your heart. You'll look at your partner and appreciate them, and think about how lucky you are to have them.
