A holiday or a good laugh is a very effective way of boosting your relationship. Combining the two, well that just makes it x-rated!

Laughter really is the best medicine and what isn't surprising is that it induces practically the same benefits as sex.

Both triggers the release of endorphins, your body's feel-good fuel; and these activities are equivalent to a great cardio workout and we all know how good 'exercise' is for the body, mind and soul.

Various studies have shown they both reduce stress as your blood pressure is lowered and your general sense of wellbeing is enhanced by your relaxed state of mind.

And all of the above is obviously more achievable while on holiday - giving you the perfect excuse to spoil yourself and your significant other with a weekend away filled with lots of... comedy.
