Is jealousy healthy in a marriage?In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashley talk about compliments, flirting, jealousy, trust, and the boundaries that protect a marriage.They discuss whether it is appropriate to compliment someone of the opposite sex, why some couples intentionally make each other jealous, and how to recognize when a seemingly innocent friendship is starting to cross a line.Adam and Ashley also share how establishing boundaries early in their relationship helped create trust instead of constantly having to monitor one another.Because healthy trust does not mean pretending boundaries do not matter.It means creating a relationship where your spouse does not have to constantly wonder whether they are safe with you.They also talk about why people sometimes seek affirmation outside their marriage when they are no longer receiving it at home — and why creating jealousy is not the same thing as creating passion.If something in your marriage is broken, do not play with insecurity.Talk about it.Get help.And protect the trust you have built.--How do you steward the gifts of God?
