How To Cope With Jealousy In Your Relationship

How can my spouse and I cope with jealousy?

Sometimes we find ourselves jealous of our partner in a marriage. We might be jealous that they have a career and we don't. Or we might be jealous because they're spending too much time with the kids or their family. There are so many issues around jealousy that can come up in a marriage. The core of it stems from our own unfulfillment. There's something in our own life that we are not living or there's something that we want from our partner that we're not getting. First, find out what it is that's calling from the inside because if you're feeling jealous or your partner is jealous of something you're doing, listen to that call and pay attention to it because that's really what it is. It's a call for attention. Pay attention to what each of you want. Sit down, have a talk, ask, "What do you need from me? What is it that you really want for your own life? What is it that you desire?" Because that really is at the core of all jealousy in your marriage.
