Of course, we all know that a shared sense of humour is a plus point in any relationship – but Professor Jeffrey Hall, a communications studies researcher at the University of Kansas, has revealed that the fact that people think you're funny or that you can make a joke out of anything is not strongly related to how satisfied you or your partner will be in a relationship.

What is strongly related to relationship satisfaction, however, is the humour couples create together.

“Say you and your partner share a quirky sense of humour, but romantic comedies or sitcoms do nothing for either of you... it's not that any style or a sense of humour is any better or worse,” Hall said.

“What matters is that you both see quirky humor as hysterical. If you share a sense of what's funny, it affirms you and affirms your relationship through laughter.”
