JEALOUSY SERIES, DAY 4

JEALOUSY SERIES, DAY 4:

WHY ARE PEOPLE JEALOUS?

Why are People Jealous?

  Jealousy can be caused by many factors.

 •Unrealistic expectations about marriage in general.

 •Unrealistic expectations about your relationship with your spouse.

 •A misguided sense of ownership of your spouse.

 •Hurtful experience of abandonment in the past.

 •Poor self-image.

 •Insecurity.

 •Fear of being abandoned or betrayed.

 •Fear of losing someone or something important to them.

 •Intense possessiveness.

 •A desire to control.

Do you see any of these characteristics in yourself?   Examine yourself, not your spouse and determine if any of these pertain to you.  What can you do to change any of this?  Do you think you even NEED to change any of these things?

Let’s get this discussion going.  We can all learn from one another.  Share your experiences.  You can comment anonymously.
