44 Boyfriends And Husbands Who Make Relationships Never Boring

We can’t be super-serious 24/7. Especially when it comes to relationships. After all, you need passion and lightheartedness from time to time, not just a stern demeanor.

Most of us know that laughter is good for your health, but it’s also great for your relationship. Humor can defuse tense and awkward situations, creates a lively back-and-forth debate with your partner, and changes your perspective about life.

Bored Panda spoke to relationship expert Dan Bacon, founder of The Modern Man website, about how important humor, laughter, as well as playfulness all are in new and long-term relationships.

"The reality is that a couple can begin a relationship without humor being used, but the relationship will eventually feel a little boring and one-dimensional if the interactions are always rational, serious and straightforward. So, although humor can be avoided, it's much better to use it initially and then continue using it when in a relationship or marriage," Bacon of The Modern Man explained.

"For example: When a man and woman first meet, being able to really laugh together and not be so serious all the time when talking or hanging out, signals that relationship could be quite fun and enjoyable in the long run. It opens up the possibility that a relationship between them could be one where they can both relax, be themselves and just enjoy life together, rather than being so serious and uptight."

"That is appealing to most men and women," pointed out Bacon.
