In other words marry someone who has a sense of humor and can laugh at them selves.

Yes after 10 years we still do this

I think that is true as my ex and I had very different ideas and sense of humor

We have over the years enjoyed a lot of banter, but lately, hubby has been getting a hard time at work which has resulted in not much communication between us at all. He pretty much comes home and sits himself in front of the tv. I just don’t know what to do about it

Haha yep hubby and I always do -the girls love to chip in and make a joke or laugh at me too. We love & have alot of banter in our family. Life would be so boring without it.

Ooh yes!! Only last night we were sitting on the couch laughing and taking the ‘p…’ out of each other. It’s something our young adult son sees too as being a positive and he involved himself too.

We often have lots of laughs with and at each other and I’m sure our sense of humour has kept us together sometimes through thick and thin. But we still have a good giggle even after 35 years.

Banter is important when maintaining a connection for sure.

Banter can be fun as long as it’s not hurtful.

Interesting but I wonder if it’s true for everyone.

Depends on the quality of his jokes! We generally do have the same sense of humour

My partner and I are always joking with each other, we know not to take it too far. Always great to make each other laugh!

My husband is very funny too. And he loves it when I make fun of him!

Banter and laughter are a must!

Yep, one of the reasons I fell in love with my hub was because I found him hilarious !

I love a good laugh with my partner…

Ignore you can’t laugh together I don’t see the point, but everyone is different

Yes, you need to be able to have a laugh together

I feel that is importanr for longterm success

  Laughter and fun is definitely important – releases feel good endorphins.

We definitely have a compatible sense of humour. I don’t mean to be funny but hubby thinks I’m naturally hilarious. As for him, he has that English sense of humour (just like an English comedy). We definitely bounce off each other.
