FAQs
How can I tell if my spouse wants to laugh with me or at me?
If they’re smiling, laughing, or joining in, they’re likely laughing with you. If they’re quiet or seem annoyed, maybe hold off on the jokes.
What if my spouse’s humour is totally different from mine?
Embrace the difference! It’s okay to have different styles. Try finding a middle ground where you both can enjoy each other’s humour without forcing it.
Can humour strengthen my marriage?

How do I stop taking my partner’s humour too seriously?
Laugh it off! If it’s not meant to hurt, it’s okay to let it go. Humour is often playful, not personal.
What if my partner’s jokes make me uncomfortable?
Speak up gently! If a joke crosses a line, let them know how it makes you feel. Communication is key to keeping humour fun and respectful.
