Try this, guys: Tell your wife a bad joke, and see if she laughs anyway. And if she does, thank her for it . . . because it's part of the delicate fabric that's been holding your relationship together.
Â
A new study found men tend to be happier in relationships if they think they're the FUNNY ONE.
Â
Researchers talked to 150 couples who'd been together an average of seven years, and asked how happy they were.
Â
They also asked about the role that humor plays in their relationship . . . things like how often they joke around, and how funny they think the other person is.
Â
And in general, men are happier if they at least THINK their partner sees them as the funnier of the two.
Â
The study also found humor is important in general, and the average guy actually laughs at his wife's jokes just as much as she laughs at his.
Â
But secretly, men think they're slightly funnier, and they hope their wife agrees.Â
