They say laughter is the best medicine, so it’s important that fun and silliness is a part of our relationship!

As the years go by, life can very easily fall into monotony and routine. What was once exciting can become boring, especially under the stress of life.

Here are Joanne’s top five tips to having fun and adding silliness into your relationship.

1. Paint and sip

2. Goofy challenge

3. Prank eachother
