Laughter @ MindSay 
friends
It's hard to criticize others when we are enjoying their company. Instead of speaking
negatively to your husband today, enjoy him! Encourage him! As you experience fullness of joy with God, share some of that joy with your husband.
Does your husband have a playful side? A great sense of humor? Is there a "little boy"
that wants to escape from time to time, reflecting the joy in his heart?
This is a wonderful part of who he is, and a great strength. Let him know that you
appreciate his joyfulness and his playful spirit. Find opportunities to join him in positive
play times.
If your husband can sometimes be overly serious, coax him out occasionally for some
play times. It will help him relieve stress and relax.
"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy...Happy are the
people whose God is the LORD!" Ps. 16:11a; 144:15b
"A merry heart does good like medicine..." Prov. 17:22a

It pointed out that in the face of pain, suffering and emotion, if you are sufficiently detactched from it, all you have to do to dismiss it's importance (and any efforts to emphasise it) - is to laugh at it. By not realising how serious these things are, people can protect themselves from concience if needs be. Concience is the one emotion that connects our own wellbeing to the state of others.
Being able to laugh at a bad thing does in in a small but very shallow and superficial way, make something good come out of it, because laughing is pleasant, and if you can detatch from your own emotions, and laugh at yourself, then you can cope with more severe conditions - hence desensitisation gives strength.
But... laughing at ourselves is different to lauging at others... and even though I can laugh at myself or a situation, I still recognise the seriousness behind it. I believe both seriousness and humour can co-exist, in jokes for example, but also inside. When someone's intention is to produce humour without wanting to really harm (like my uncle jokingly slagging everyone in the family off, but not seriously) - I will laugh along but with the serious intention of boosting his esteem, because the intention (purely to make people laugh) is good.
Time for some humour, we need a laugh at the end of this week.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
Chick: So, I'm up by Bryant Park, and there are all these cop cars lined up, and then one of them decides, 'Okay, time to go!' and he puts his siren on and pulls out, and all the rest of them following, all their sirens going whoop-buppa-whoop-whoop! And then I hear something that sounds like some guy going 'whoop-buppa-whoop-whoop' -- like, he's making siren noises -- and I turn around, and there's this cop... I guess the siren on his cop car wasn't working or something, so he's on the loudspeaker mic yelling, 'Whoop-buppa-whoop-whoop!' as they all zoom off down 42nd Street. It was crazy!
