Ways to Fun-up
Relationships
1. Smile at each other when you first wake up.
2. Exaggerate your affection for each other. Make
everything bigger than it is and add a dash of silli-
ness. For example: Holler “I love you;” speak of
your undying love in terms the universe; or romanti-
cally describe each other’s eyes with over-the-top
comparisons, such as blue as the deep blue sea,
green as a rajah’s emeralds.
3. Laugh together at the funny things seen and experi-
enced on a daily basis.
4. Go on a spur-of-the-moment picnic.
5. Dance together in the living room, in the parking
lot, on the street or in the mall.
6. Read to each other before you go to sleep at night.
7. Cuddle up together on the couch when you watch TV.
8. Find some time during the day to enjoy a long
passionate, romantic kiss.
9. Walk together holding hands, and swing those hands.
10. Share at least one bit of humor each day.
11. Tell each other the good things about one another.
12. Make a special time each day to laugh and talk for
just the two of you.
13. Practice hanging out together over a cup of coffee
or glass of wine.
14. Develop lots of different, playful ways to say, “I love
you.” You might, for instance, use different accents
or languages; make a banner for the living room;
create a card; or write it on the mirror in lipstick.
15. Use your imagination to develop playful greetings
for each other, like a dramatic hug, enthusiastic joy
at seeing each other and overdone messages about
missing each other.

“Social psychology research shows that
children laugh, on average, 150 times a
day; adults, only six times a day. During
an average day, a child will smile 400
times; an adult no more than 15 times.”
