Jealousy


God calls Himself JEALOUS! (Exodus 20:5). The jealousy that is healthy is the one that is careful/watchful. As wives, I believe it is healthy to watch our husbands' friendships/relationships. If any of them is crossing boundaries, we should take corrective action - prayers, raising it with him RESPECTFULLY, talking about it with someone he respects etc.

The ugly side of jealousy is envy and I'm sure I don't need to dwell on that.

 

Also, remember that we're told that the virtuous woman watches over the affairs of her household (including her husband's). Just make sure you're not monitoring based on fear.

May the Lord bless and keep our homes, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
