You know how it’s said that “love makes the world go round?” Well, some hopeless romantic decided that the week before Valentine’s Day, February 8-14, should be officially designated as “Love Makes the World Go Round, But Laughter Keeps Us From Getting Dizzy Week!”
They say you can’t make this stuff up, but someone clearly disagreed because this one is clearly a doozy. Aside from getting my vote for being the week with the wackiest title, this annual occasion was created to encourage people to seek out and celebrate the humor in their relationships. Its mission is to inspire us to “lighten up” our love connections and “hype up” the connections between our hearts and laughter.
As some of you may have noticed, I often write about the bounty of benefits that come from adding a little laughter to our lives. Some believe, as I do, in the philosophy that “We don’t laugh because we are happy, we are happy because we laugh.” If you believe in that—even a little bit—then try doing something fun to commemorate this special week. But if you think this whole “laughter is God’s medicine” mindset is a bunch of malarky, then why not put it to a test?
Since “love” in a relationship can sometimes flip our emotions up and down and round and round until we’re too dizzy to think straight, use this week to practice a new kind of love language. Simply share some mirth with your mate when they least expect it. Whether it’s a moment when the love between you is simply ... lovely, or a moment when the theory that “love is all you need” is simply ... ludicrous, try a little levity to help unleash a little loony. I found these goodies on the internet:
You remind me of bacon, Baby Cakes—you make everything better!
You’re the nothing, Darling, when people ask me what I’m thinking about.
I don’t know how you do it, Sugar, but you always make me laugh when I’m trying my best to be cranky.
I love you more than I love beer, Boo. And I reeeally love beer!
You’ll always be the cheese to my macaroni, Baby!
I love you with all my boobs, Cuddle-Bear. I would say my heart, but my boobs are bigger.
I love you so much, Sweet Pea, that even when I tell you to go to hell, I worry about you getting there safely.
I love you, Pumpkin, like a pig loves not being bacon.
I love you more than chocolate, Honey Bear. But please don’t make me prove it.
I love you so much, I’d fight a bear for you. Well, not a grizzly bear because they have claws. And not a panda bear because they know Kung Fu. But a Care Bear, I’d definitely fight a Care Bear for you!
I will always love you, my handsome Stud-Muffin, no matter how fat I get.
