Have you ever read a really funny relationship joke but at the same time you had a weird feeling in your stomach that didn’t let you laugh sincerely? Because you knew that no matter how the joke might have been funny, at the same time, it reflected the status of your relationship? Let’s have a look at the best 8 relationship jokes I have found on the Internet.

Relationship joke #1: The Long Romantic Walks During The Quarantine

A woman confides, „I love those long romantic walks from my computer to my fridge and back.“

I know this joke might not seem too funny, but let’s be honest, it is a bit funny, right? 2020 was a difficult year for all of us, and, it was difficult for most of the relationships. How to get out of the rut and have some exciting home dates? Check this article or download the „30 Activities For Couples During The Quarantine“ free pdf here.

Relationship joke #2: Friends

A man describes the Zoom call with his therapist. „He asked me if I had friends. Of course, I have. All 10 series.“

Another „funny“ joke, right? Well, if you have spent the last 9 months on and off a home office, lockdowns and quarantine, the chances are, you didn’t have too many contacts with your friends. This might lead to hostile behavior towards your spouse and even to depression or anxiety. Read here how to deal with anxiety, how to take control of your life, and how to improve communication with your partner.

In meanwhile, schedule regular ZOOM calls with your friends and get together even if it’s just for a walk in nature with your masks or respirators on.

It’s nothing more dangerous for mental health, in my opinion than to „stay in your head“. Humans have from 60 thousand to 80 thousand thoughts a day. More than 90 % of them are the same as the day before. If we watch lots of negative news, those thoughts might be negative too. If we don’t talk to anyone for a longer period, we tend to repeat the same thoughts over and over again and at the end of the day, we might feel anxious or depressed.

Take action. Talk to someone. Plan to contact someone every single day even if it’s just for 20 minutes. If this is not possible, feed your mind with positive thoughts. Go on YouTube and watch Tony Robbins, Lisa Nichols, Wayne Dyer, Dean Graziosi. There are so many good motivators out there sharing good thoughts for free.

Relationship joke #3: The Fairytale

In the kingdom far, far away. There was a married couple. They lived together for 30 years and they celebrated their 50th birthdays together on the very same day. During their birthday celebration, suddenly a bright ball of light appeared and out of that ball of light stepped out a beautiful fairy. As her gift, she offered she would fulfill one wish to each of them.

A wife wishes to travel the world with her husband. The fairy waves her magic wand and the woman holds two tickets for the journey around the world. The husband wishes his wife to be 30 years younger than him. The fairy waves her magic wand and the man is suddenly 80 years old.

Laughing? I hope you are. Look, why did I include this joke here? First, I think it’s really funny, but also, we so often don’t enjoy who we are and who our partner is. We tend to complain a lot and wish everything was different, even though things are already good. Isn’t it the truth?

Relationship joke #4: Why do all the fairytales end with the wedding?

A little boy asks, „Daddy, why do all the fairytales end with the wedding?“

Daddy sadly answers, „Because there is no fairytale after the wedding.“

Ok. Now…are you laughing? I am not sure I am 😊 Do you know what I found out to be the #1 mistake lots of couples do? They believe that you either meet your soulmate and everything is perfect, or you don’t. This means, that whatever problem appears, they tend to think, „That’s because he/she is not the right one for me.“

Let me tell you, to have a great relationship means you put a lot of energy, effort, and work into it. If you don’t know where to start, check my article about New Year’s Resolutions. It doesn’t matter what part of the year is right now. If you want to start working on your relationship, you need to do that by aligning your goals and dreams. That’s your first step.

Relationship joke #5: Different Positions

A married couple is about to fall asleep. The husband hugs his wife from behind and whispers, „Honey, I don’t want to sleep yet. What if we tried some new positions today?“ She smiles and answers, „That’s a great idea. If you can’t sleep, you can try iron your shirts and I will try lying still on my back and sleep.“

Passion. What a great word, right? I bet you had a lot of passion in your relationship at the beginning. If you feel you are lacking passion in your relationship, there might be several issues including:

· You or your partner (or both) don’t feel appreciated and respected

· There is no fun in your relationship anymore

· Communication problems

· You are not active enough

Relationship joke #6: How many words…

A husband reads an article to his wife. „On average, women use 30 thousand words a day while men only 15 thousand.“ His wife answers, „That’s because we have to repeat and explain everything to you.“ The man asks, „What?“

If you are a woman, you might be laughing right now. If you are a man, you are probably a bit bitter. However, the truth is that women tend to talk much more than men. If you want to find out why and also what to do to communicate with each other effectively, read this article about communication.

Relationship joke #7: In-laws

A married couple was arguing a lot. After that, the wife calls her Mom and complains, „Mom, my husband was awful to me. He told me so many bad things. I will pack my things and I will come over to your place, ok?“ Her mother answers, „No way. He needs to pay. There has to be some kind of punishment. It will be me who will come over to your place and live with you. That should do the trick.“

In-laws and their influence on marriage. Huge misunderstandings can come up when the in-laws interfere too much in the relationship of young people. What to do with that?

· Whatever problem that needs to be communicated with the in-laws must be presented by their child. Don’t try to do it yourself. It will never be accepted the way you want.

· Put your relationship and your partner first. If you put your parents, kids, work, hobbies before your partner, the relationship will probably fail.

· Try to understand that the in-laws will be always on the side of their children, rarely on yours. Imagine yourself in their shoes. Imagine yourself dealing with a similar situation. Would you fight for your children or the partners of your children? Be honest to yourself.

Relationship joke #8: What machines are we depending on?

A man and his wife are talking about different difficult life situations. After several minutes, they started to talk about euthanasia. Deciding between life and death is a very sensitive topic. The man says, „I don’t want you to let me live depending on machines, being fed by liquid food from some bottle. If I had to live like that, I beg you to switch the machines off, please.“ His wife immediately gets up, switches the TV, PC, and his phone off, and empties his beer bottle in the sink.

I don’t want to make fun of euthanasia, but I do want to talk about the fact, that we can’t imagine our lives without screens anymore. Once I’ve heard Tony Robbins talking about how we live our lives in a box, looking at a box, driving a box, eating from a box, etc.

I want to challenge you today to create a „No Screen Just Talk“ time for you and your partner. Just 20 minutes a day will do. Dedicate every day, preferably after work or in the evening 20 minutes to your partner. Switch all the screens off. No distractions. Talk. Ask. Listen. Look into each other’s eyes. Enjoy each other’s company. That’s how you would reignite that spark that once used to be there. That’s how you would deepen the connection between each other.

Conclusion

There are many jokes about relationships on the Internet. Whenever you feel that you are supposed to laugh but you don’t feel like it, think about WHY is that so. And more importantly, what to do with that. Believe me, there is nothing like living in a happy and fulfilled relationship. However, you have to work on it. You have to earn it. If you want the step by step instructions, you might want to check my course Fix Your Marriage.
