Highlighting the difference between playful teasing and hurtful criticism, Dr Rimpa said, “The difference between playful teasing and hurtful criticism lies in the intention and how it is received. In emotionally secure relationships, partners understand each other’s boundaries and know that the humour comes from affection rather than disrespect.”She added that when partners are comfortable laughing at themselves and each other, it reflects confidence in the relationship. “They do not feel the need to constantly defend themselves because trust already exists. That said, humour should never become a way to dismiss feelings or repeatedly target sensitive insecurities. The healthiest teasing leaves both partners smiling rather than one partner feeling embarrassed or hurt,” she said.Explaining the importance of couples being involved in each other’s personal and professional interests, Dr Sarkar cited research by noted psychologist John Gottman.Story continues below this ad“Psychologist John Gottman’s research refers to this as knowing your partner’s ‘inner world.’ Couples who remain curious about each other’s lives tend to feel more emotionally connected because they continue learning about each other even after many years together,” she said.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
