Couples need to be aware of this enemy. Satan will talk to you and put thoughts into your heads. Don’t allow this to happen. Some will get angry even if they see their partner talking to another person of the opposite sex.
This reveals a few things, two of which are:
1) A lack of trust. If you and your partner are “going to make it” there must be trust. And trust is build on communication and a willingness to give of oneself. Tell your partner what makes you uncomfortable, express your feelings, share your thoughts and fears. A healthy response should be one of understanding if not agreement. Never dismiss anyone’s feelings no matter how unfounded it appears to you, it is very real for them. So proceed in love, understanding, and compromise.
2) An insecurity. Many people show jealousy as an expression of their own insecurities. They feel as though they do not quite “measure up” to be worthy of another’s love, trust, and respect. So when their partner is shows any interest in someone of the opposite sex the “warning alert” sounds and they feel threatened so they spring into an often misguided and unjustified jealous reaction.
If you find yourself facing that “green eyed monster” called jealousy it may be helpful to remember the all of the times that you shared filled with love and passion. Remember all of the times when your partner surprised your with gifts and niceties simply because they loved you. And ask yourself the question are they really doing anything out of the ordinary by talking to a member of the opposite sex? If the answer is no then you might want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Do let one misunderstood moment cancel out hundreds of good memories you’ve shared and put an end to a future and a lifetime with the one you love.
