I believe a wee bit of jealousy is healthy in a relationship.
Within the dynamic fibres woven into a marriage is the expression of making each other feel special.
You are important to me, I value you and I will show you this, each and every day.
A wee bit of jealousy feels protective of that specialness; I don’t want another woman making my husband feel special.
But it is just a wee bit of jealousy, to let my husband know I am not complacent, I notice him and how very special he is to me.
Vulnerability
Jealousy is a complex topic with many layers that can turn ugly and destructive to a relationship.
However, I believe the essence of Rule#17 is simple.
My wee bit of jealousy indicates I am vulnerable enough to admit I feel insecure and don’t want to lose your attentions to another woman because you are so special to me.
This rule is lovely because of the vulnerableness it holds.
S, ♥️

You’re very much welcome, Stephanie. Thank you. It’s almost prepare time for church, as we celebrate the 9 days “simbang gabi” for advent.
I googled Simbang Gabi – it is the devotional advent services for Filipino Catholics and is a symbol of sharing. How beautiful. 🌻💛
