We’ve all heard that love is patient and love is kind, but have you ever thought about how hilariously funny love and romantic relationships can be as well? As these funny love quotes from comedians prove, love can bring a chuckle, giggle or a side-splitting laugh out of just about anyone you’ll meet.
When you’re in love, you are automatically having a good time. You are with the person you adore the most, and anything you do with them brings a smile to your face, even when they’re annoying you worse than anyone has before! So naturally, your dating and love life are sure to be full of some downright entertaining moments.
Of course, there are also parts of love that don’t seem funny at first, but that you find yourself laughing about it later on. Bad breakups, fights and misunderstandings may arise and put a strain on things. But once you are able to work through it with your partner, you’re also able to see the humor in the situation.
After all, life would be a lot less interesting if we didn’t operate that way. Could you imagine a humor-less society? Ugh. That would be horrible.
Thank heavens for comedians and their interesting outlook on everything that goes on in our world! Being able to evaluate hard situations and find a sort of silver lining somewhere within it all is truly a gift. And it’s something we can all learn from, because it’s important to remember not to take everything too seriously.
