There comes a point in every long term relationship when the romance doesn’t necessarily wane, per se, but certainly shifts. There's just a certain comfortability that comes from living together, raising a family together, going through life’s many ups and downs together, that absolutely destroys whatever filter we previously had while dating. And that’s not a bad thing! Not only can it lead to plenty of laughs, but a whole new relationship layer to appreciate. Just take this guy’s word for it. Chip Leighton, who previously gave us all a good chuckle by sharing the “dumb questions” his college-aged kids have asked, recently went viral once again by sharing the “romantic,” or maybe not-so-romantic texts he gets from his wife of 25 years on a daily basis. As Taylor Swift’s Love Story plays in the background, we see that Leighton’s wife tends to stick to more practical matters in her communication, like “I was going to make chicken tortilla soup tonight but now don’t feel like it” or “send me the code.” But she certainly doesn’t shy away from…ahem…blunter messages as well. Examples include “I can hear you peeing from every room in the house,” and “don’t put the ornaments in stupid places.” It just goes to show that happy, long lasting marriages have a healthy dose of humor. See on Instagram This was apparently the sound advice Leighton received from the officiant on his wedding day, who encouraged the couple to not let the little things “become big things.” (Newsweek) “I think if you can laugh at the little things, it defuses them and takes away their importance. It's tough to be mad about something you're laughing about," said Leighton. The sentiment seemed to resonate with viewers, who could more than relate to Leighton’s relationship dynamic. “I’m going to show this to my husband so he realizes that I’m actually quite normal as far as wives go.” “My husband told me a strong stream is a sign of a healthy prostate and I should be happy for him.” “The ‘send me the code’ took me out ?” “We all married the same guy. ?♀️”“I feel the ornament one deep in my soul.” One person even chimed in to remind us all that even these seemingly mundane interaction won’t last forever. “Treasure those texts….one of the ‘little things’ I miss so much since losing my husband nine months ago. ?” So for couples who have made it to this particular stage of the relationship, congratulations. There’s something wonderful to be gleaned from it. And if you’re looking for more of Leighton’s awesome funny content—great news!

In the 1988 Disney classic “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” the titular character is in an unlikely relationship with his voluptuous wife Jessica. Roger is a frantic, anxious rabbit with a penchant for mischief, while Jessica is a quintessential ’40s bombshell who stands about a foot and a half taller and isn’t “bad,” just “drawn that way.”When private investigator Eddie Valiant asked Jessica what she sees in “that guy?” she replies, “He makes me laugh.”This type of couple may seem like something we only see in the movies, but don’t underestimate the power of humor when it comes to attractiveness. A new study published in Evolutionary Psychology found that being humorous is the most effective way to flirt for both men and women.“People think that humour, or being able to make another person laugh, is most effective for men who are looking for a long-term relationship. It’s least effective for women who are looking for a one-night stand. But laughing or giggling at the other person's jokes is an effective flirtation tactic for both sexes,” says Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair, a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) Department of Psychology.“It is not only effective to be funny, but for women, it is very important that you show your potential partner that you think they are funny,” Rebecca Burch, a co-author from SUNY Oswego in New York, added.Unfortunately, this study was only conducted on heterosexual couples.For men, showing off their sense of humor was found to be the most effective way to flirt whether they were looking for a short-term or a long-term relationship. For women, being funny was the most effective tactic when looking for a long-term relationship. For people looking for a short-term fling, appearing available was the most effective tactic.According to the study, humor is effective regardless of one's attractiveness. “Individual differences in age, religiosity, extroversion, personal attractiveness and preferences for short-term sexual relationships had little or no effect on how effective respondents considered the various flirting tactics to be,” says study co-author Prof. Mons Bendixen.If you see someone you like but don’t think you’re good-looking enough for them, give it a shot. You may still have a chance if you can make ’em laugh.The most effective tactics for those looking for a long-term relationship:For women:1. Makes him laugh2. Shows interest in conversations3. Spends time with him4. Engages in deep conversations5. Kisses on mouthFor men:1. Makes her laugh2. Spends time with her3. Shows interest in conversations4. Engages in deep conversations5. SmilesThe study is proof that looks aren’t everything and shows that having a good sense of humor isn’t just about making someone laugh. A great sense of humor is evidence that someone is intelligent, wise, perceptive, confident, can see things from new perspectives and has good intuition. It also helps people quickly build bonds and share experiences, which is a great way to get close to someone in a fast and fun way.So why wouldn’t Jessica be with Roger? The guy is hilarious.This story originally appeared on 05.07.22

While blue steak may sound like something out of a children's book, it actually refers to a very rare steak. It isn't blue though, so why do we call it that?
