Fall is here so all the kids are back at school. Believe it or not I think I see Xmas decorations in the store already.

One of the many reasons we find team sports to be so exciting is the fact that they require the players on the team to not only have talent but to also possess a willingness to sacrifice their individual talent for the greater good of the team.
Healthy relationships also require that we act as members of a team and sacrifice our individual needs and desires for the good of our relationship. Describe the last time you sacrificed your individual needs for the good of your relationship?

In this week’s relationship advice e-zine we look at how the ability to keep our sense of humor and laugh at ourselves and each other is the glue that keeps our relationship together.
All relationships hit stormy seas. And one way or another, we have to find a way to navigate our relationship through these rough seas. We can choose to laugh our way through these difficult times, or be angry at the situation, our partner and/or the world.
Tell us about a time when your relationship hit some stormy seas. Did you use laughter and maintain your sense of humor to weather these storms? Share with us a way you and your partner laughed through a difficult situation in your relationship, even though the situation itself wasn’t really funny.

It is really important to have a sense of humor. Taking ourselves too seriously creates unnecessary angst. Life is hard enough. We must be able to laugh at ourselves as easily as we are able to laugh at others, including our partner.
Does your partner tell a story about something that happened to you that they think is the funniest thing in the world, but you have a hard time laughing at? Share with us some of these funny stories and try to lighten up along the way.

Summertime and the living is easy. By now you know how much my husband and I (and my whole family for that matter) love the beach. Whether we are taking a walk together or just lying on a chair soaking in the beautiful sun rays, the beach has always been a place where we can put our worries aside and just chill!
Even if the summer is not your favorite season or the beach is not your favorite spot, share with us where and how you and your partner love to relax to get away from it all during these summer months.
