Laughter and fun can breathe new life into your romance and relationship. Let’s explore ways to bring more fun into your romance!

　　笑聲和樂趣會讓你的愛情和戀愛關系得到新生。讓我們來看一下能讓你的愛情更有趣的幾種方式吧！

　　A couple that can laugh together will have a better chance of weathering the hard times. Laughter makes us all happier too. When you can laugh easily with your spouse life just seems better. Good things happen in your body when you laugh as well!

　　能在一起開心大笑的兩個人更有可能一起面對困難時期，笑聲能讓我們更加開心。當你和愛人一起很容易就笑時，你的生活會更加美好。當你笑時你的身體也會變好！

　　First off, it is essential that you have a date night with your significant other every week. Your relationship with this person needs to be handled with care and you both owe each other that time to nurture it.

　　首先，和愛人每周來一次約會之夜至關重要。你們的關系也需要仔細處理，你們都需要時間來培養感情。

　　Make it a rule that during that time you avoid talking about kids and work. This night is about the two of you and your relationship. You may not feel you have one outside of those two topics but you do. You got together for a reason and date night helps you remember and reinforce that reason.

　　制定一條規則，在約會時不要談論孩子和工作。這一晚是屬于你們兩個和你們之間愛情的。你可能覺得除了這兩個話題之外，就沒有其他的可談了，實際上你有。你們兩個能在一起是有原因的，約會之夜能幫助你記起并鞏固你們在一起的原因。

　　Not sure what to talk about outside of work and kids? Start by reminiscing about the early days and years. Then as you continue to have date nights and bring more fun into your romance you will have more positive shared experiences between the two of you to draw on for conversation.

　　不知道除了工作和孩子外還能談什么？ 可以先從回憶早年的時光開始。然后隨著約會之夜逐漸增多，往你的愛情中注入的樂趣也越來越多，你們之間會有更多美好的共同經歷，這些經歷可以作為談話的內容。

　　Try to avoid conflict discussions as well. Use this time to nurture your relationship, not cause more tension. Address those topics at a separate time, but keep date night sacred.

　　記得要避免能發生沖突的討論。利用這段時間培養你們的感情，而不是讓你們的關系更加緊張。找單獨的時間來談論這些話題，但是要讓約會之夜保持神圣。
