A shared sense of humor and the ability to play can help reduce relationship stress. When you and your main squeeze are playful, you get more than smile-sore cheeks. Helpguide.org highlights the benefits of playful communication:

• Take hardships in stride -- By allowing you to view your frustrations and disappointments from new perspectives, laughter and play enable you to survive annoyances, hard times, and setbacks.
• Smooth over differences -- Using gentle humor often helps you say things that might be difficult without causing a fight.
• Simultaneously relax and energize you -- Play delights the nervous system, relieves fatigue, and relaxes your body, which allows you to accomplish more.
• Become more creative -- When you loosen your control, it releases rigid ways of being and encourages you to get creative.
• Experience mutual joy -- Nothing in life is more enjoyable than sharing joy with someone you love.

So go get goofy with your sweetheart!
