2. They laugh, laugh, laugh.
When relationships first begin, there’s a lot of fun, a lot of laughter, and a wonderful lightness as you get to know one another. As relationships deepen and the realities of life creep back in, much of that levity can get replaced with a resolutely non-fun level of seriousness.
It’s not usually a conscious thing — it just sort of happens. But guess what? That’s almost a good thing because it means you can do something about it. By resolving to make time to enjoy each other, relax, and, yes, literally play, you’ll always have humor and laughter to fall back on.
After all, if you’re still able to laugh at each other — and yourself — there’s almost no problem you can’t solve together.
