According to a new study, making fun of this can make your marriage or relationship stronger.

 

Your partner

 

The study found that poking fun at your partner can actually strengthen a relationship, as long as it’s good-natured and both of you are laughing about it. Humor and playfulness are important parts of a relationship and sharing a sense of humor can bring a couple closer together. That includes poking gentle fun at each other. Of course, if you cross the line making fun of someone, it doesn’t quite work out as well, but gentle jokes could be good for you! Do you make fun of your partner?
