Laughter in Your Marriage How often do you laugh with your spouse? Surely I hope you are not laughing at each other. A medical expert, Dr. Don Corbert said that a laugh has healing effects and can help to lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, improve your brain function, elevate your mood, reduce your stress, help you relax, and protect your heart. The Word of God says, 鄭 cheerful heart is good medicine. (Proverbs 17:22) and 的n Nehemiah 8:10 we read, For the joy of the Lord is your strength. The apostle Paul, imprisoned in Philippi could rejoice and encouraged the Christians to pray about everything with thanksgiving as they present their requests to God (Philippians 4:4-6) To enjoy a good laugh, one must first put away the destroyers of laughter like anxiety, destructive disagreements, discontentment, negative thinking, complaining, and the like. Then think of one good quality in your spouse and express it either by words or in writing. You could find a humorous story or a joke that both of you can laugh together. Look for them in magazines, from your place of work, or in the social media. Take time to read how our Lord conversed with the people He met. His questions were very short and loaded. Notice how the people responded to Him (Luke 10:29, John 3:4, John 18:38). We could chuckle at their replies. Our Lord never laughed or ridiculed at their responses. In fact, everyone come away impacted by Him. Life is not that bad. We make silly mistakes from time to time. At those instances, we could take a few moments to laugh at ourselves in order to keep our sanity. It is good to know that all of us are humans.
