Conflicts in marriage is a common issue. But marriage is a long way to walk on the path of life. The road can be full of issues sometimes. There is a time when conflict will be the center of attention in the marriage. There are many ways to deal with it. But, dealing with it with humor sometimes can be the best and easiest way. Here is how you can do it.
Make sure you both are in the same place
Jokes are great to make the situation lighter. But it is only preferable when both of their spouses are the same. Often jokes at inappropriate moments can be thought of as insensitive and rude. As a result, making humor out of the situation can turn into a big insult to the other person. Always remember that proper communication is very important in every relationship.
Don’t use humor to cover up their emotion
Emotions are a very serious matter in a person. If the conflict relates to the emotion of a person, then making fun of it might not be the best solution. Also, avoid making jokes if the person is showing their vulnerability to you in a serious moment. This will seem like you are disrespecting their emotions.
Tap into the playful side
Humor can make a situation very light. So, try to convert yourself into the fun-loving light side that takes things not too seriously. It will also help your partner to understand the conflict that arose might not be that much of a serious issue and can be laughed off. In addition, re-claim your inborn playfulness to ease the conflict.
Make funny references
Often time issues raised between a couple can be matched with previous issues that are fun for both of you. In that situation, make a comparison to that situation to have a good time. it is better to have a laugh in a situation rather than make a big deal out of it.
