Don’t let jealousy destroy your marriage

Solomon 8: 6-7

We read in Song of Solomon 8: 6-7: “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.” Solomon writes, ‘Jealousy is cruel as the grave’ (Song of Solomon 8:6 KJV). There are many practical applications for this verse, and one of them is that jealousy can cause the death of a marriage. When you’re jealous of your partner, you distrust them and try to control their every move. And that’s doubly true when someone in your past has betrayed you. Your fear of it happening again can make your spouse feel like his or her feet are always being held to the fire. And if you keep doing it long enough you’ll create the very thing you fear; you’ll end up driving them away. Even if they do stay, they may live in emotional isolation without ever fully giving themselves to you. With that in mind, here’s what the Bible has to say: ‘We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them…as we live in God, our love grows more perfect…Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear’ (1 John 4:16-18 NLT). When you know that God loves you in spite of your imperfections, your sense of self-worth grows and you start believing you are worthy of love. And when that happens, it’s easier to accept that your spouse loves you too and will be faithful. That’s like getting out of prison – a prison of your own making called ‘jealousy’. Today God wants to set you free from jealousy and give you the relationship you’ve always longed for. Talk to Him about it.

I do love the Seeds and all they have achieved. My crush is the youngest Son. Baby Seed. Think he is in Uni now after taking a gap year. Tulimfuata online all over the world. They have accomplished a lot. Think the Mum graduated the other day.
Misterseed was the 1st person to open a forum in the UK that covered Europe and America too. The forum died because of things he did or did not do but he remains our source of information for many things. Much respect to them all Jackson, the other dude, my crush (baby seed) and daughter Seed…a young pharmacist. And the wives kina Njeri.

The family has done Murang’a proud. Their lives could be a sitcom with dad and his stetson hat steering the boat.

I had written a response to this post but deleted it. I’ll keep my atheist views to myself.
