I actually heard this one on a podcast about successful and happy long-term marriages -

Don't forget to create opportunities to laugh together.

According to the interviewee, regular laughter alleviates tensions and strengthens the bond. The guy claimed laughter produces oxytocin (the "bonding" or "trust" hormone also involved in labor/birth) but I haven't verified that.

Anyway, it's good advice for me because I get so very serious so very often.
