Episode20: Fun With Imaginary Homosexual Pigeons

Today, we’re talking about the problem with taking life (and relationships) too seriously!

 The older we get, the more we hear phrases like “grow up” – but what if we used play strategically to make every aspect of our life better (and had fun doing it)?

For Richard and I, humour has always been an integral part of our relationship and
something that we default back to when everything feels heavy.

Play and humour can be effective in getting us through dark times.

We talk about:

•  Using play and fun to diffuse tension while arguing and as a repair attempt
•  Making light of past arguments (that were resolved)
•  Creating your “in jokes” as a couple and building your own little world
•  Our personal little world!
•  Play’s role in creativity, learning and memory

We want to hear your thoughts and questions, so if there's anything you would like us to cover on the show, please drop us a line on
