Laughter is Good for Your Marriage

My husband and I went out tonight to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary, a week late, but better late than never. We didn't really have set plans, just to go out and find a restaurant without a line out the door. We ended up at a Peruvian place my husband had never been to but I had already sampled. The food was great, very unusual, but the best part was that I think we spent most of our date laughing really hard over the silliest things. I mean we were in tears because we were laughing so much, probably annoying our fellow patrons. That is what I enjoy the most about my husband, his sense of humor. We share the same really juvenile amusements. I miss the way we used to laugh together so much more. With our crazy family situation, we need to find lots of ways to laugh at ourselves, our kids, our life. Not everything is gloomy or negative, but sometimes I can sound that way, I know. We often forget to push it all aside for a good time, just the two of us. Our kids will benefit from it as well.
