Asking your spouse a funny question can serve several purposes. For example, it can help you learn more about the person you’re married to and it can bring laughter into your relationship. Humor bonds people together and a dose of laughter is important for a marriage, according to “The Love List” by clinical psychologist Les Parrott and marriage counselor Leslie Parrott. There are many laugh-out-loud question games that can help give you the dose of humor you and your spouse may need.
What-if Questions
Asking hypothetical questions can be one way to find out what your spouse would say or do in certain situations. To make the questions giggle-worthy, ask what he would do in situations that would never happen. In “Fun Relationship Questions” on Professional-Counselling.com, counselor Elly Prior encourages couples to ask silly questions and to encourage their spouses to answer as freely and as ridiculously as they want. For example, you might ask "What if you woke up one day and we had switched bodies?" Or, "If I could only cook you one thing for the rest of our lives, what would it be?" or "What would the world be like if it were taken over by aliens that look like flowers?"
Would You Rather Questions
For another set of funny questions, make your spouse choose between two extreme choices. For example, you could ask, "Would you rather I be completely hairless or as hairy as a gorilla?" or "Would you rather have “The Electric Slide” or “My Heart Will Go On” playing on a loop in our house for a year?" or "Would you rather our children grow up to be 7 feet tall or 3 feet tall?"
Funny Anecdotes
Sometimes the best laughs come from untold or forgotten stories that haven't had the chance to be heard. No matter how long you have been married, you may be surprised by some of the funny anecdotes your husband or wife has yet to tell. Ask questions that may reveal some of her funniest or most embarrassing stories. For example, you could ask "When was the last time you wanted to laugh really hard, but had to hold it in?" or "What was your most embarrassing bathroom-related incident?" You could also ask your spouse to describe a funny time when she was mistaken for someone else, or when he mistook someone for another person.
Questions With No Real Answer
Sometimes the funniest questions are ones that have the punch line in them. Humor in a marriage is not just a way to bond, but also a way to lighten the mood during tense times, according to “Disarming Cupid: Love, Sex and Science” by the Scientific American editors. Next time your spouse is in need of a good chuckle, ask him questions that don't really need an answer. For example, you might ask "when at a movie theater, which arm rest belongs to you?" or, "If someone only has one arm, do cops still handcuff him?"
