When couples turn spiritual humor into serious analysis

My partner and I started studying Sufi stories together because we thought they'd help us reconnect through laughter, but we keep getting into serious debates about the meanings instead of just enjoying Nasreddin's absurdity. We've turned something that should bring lightness into another thing to analyze and I don't know how to stop intellectualizing our way out of joy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very attempt to systematize playfulness can kill the spontaneity it seeks to restore.
