Marriage is a beautiful, wonderful thing, especially when you know you found someone with whom you can truly be yourself around, even if that self is a complete goofball whack job. I’ve always been the weird one in my family, the one that everyone would roll their eyes at in disbelief before bursting out laughing with me, so of course, I wanted that silliness to continue with my husband.

I always want to make him laugh, and sometimes, if I’m really lucky, I get a chuckle followed by “What the hell did I marry?” Music to my ears. So, how do I do it? How can you keep your significant other forever entertained?

1. Dance. Dance at random times and without warning

Whether there is music playing or not, it’s never a bad time to break out your best moves, or even your dorkiest moves. Surprise him with your skills while you’re making the evening’s dinner or brushing your teeth. I say, the dorkier the better.

If his gaze is locked on the tv or his phone and you need his attention, flail your limbs around and sing your own little tune. He’d be a fool not to glance up and smile that I can’t believe your mine smile.

2. Serenade him with your next self-written ballad

What better way to express your love then a song or rap that you’ve created yourself, especially if it’s on the fly. Rhyme heart pumpin’ with love muffin. In my experience, the cheesier the better. Sometimes it even works to replace the lyrics of his favorite song with lyrics of your own. This is the time to be creative.

3. Tickle, even if it puts your life in danger

There’s nothing like the fear of getting slammed in the face with an elbow or kneed in the stomach to make the laughs that come out of a tickle session worth it. Plus, don’t tickle wars always make you feel like little kids again?

4. Puns and dad jokes must be inserted whenever possible

Sometimes, even after you get married, life isn’t perfect. (Shocking, I know.) So why not make your man smile after a rough day? Tell him you want to move to Switzerland, and when he inevitably asks “What? Why?” casually tell him that there flag is a big plus. Need help getting started? The kitchen is a grape place to look for pun making materials. What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef!

Channel your inner dad and pull out some of your best old jokes. Here’s a few of my favorites to get you started:

“Why do chicken coops only have two doors? Because if they had four, they would be chicken sedans!

“I used to have a job at a calendar factory but they fired me because I took a couple of days off.”

“I had a dream that I was a muffler last night. I woke up exhausted!”

“How did the octopus beat the shark in a fight? He was well armed!

When he has finished most of his venting about the day and asks “And you know what REALLY sucks?” reply “vacuum cleaners.” This one pretty much guarantees you an eye roll accompanied by a forehead kiss. Or try reminding him of your special day. “Remember how beautiful our wedding was? Even the cake was in tiers!” And if somehow your hilarious jokes aren’t curing his blues, you can always resort back to tickling a giggle out of him.

If you find success in your antics, he'll be shaking his head at how much he hates that he's laughing and smiling at how much he loves you.

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

For the past few months, I have not been my usual happy-go-lucky-self for a number of reasons, but one thing that has been helping me is to think about all of the little things in my life that I am thankful for. I know this might seem really cliché, but it is so true. I cannot stress enough how much better I feel when I think about all the great people and privileges I have in my life. It makes all of the insignificant things that I am stressing about or worrying about in my head seem not nearly as bad. I have decided to make a list of 26 things (out of many more) in my life that I am especially thankful for.
