During our cross-country move last month, we had plenty of time to kill in the car. 🚗

Yes, we listened to podcasts and found other ways to pass the time...

But there's something special about being able to talk about the big picture with your spouse, especially while on a long drive! ❤️

Feeling Jealous?

Jealousy in a marriage is so subtle that most couples won’t even admit that it’s going on between them.

But constant feelings of suspicion, fear, and jealousy are toxic to your emotional intimacy.

Here are three reasons you need to address jealousy:

1. Jealousy is Ultimately a Huge Cover-Up Operation

If you learn to dig beneath your jealousy, you will almost always see that you feel insecure, unsafe, or feel like you lack something that someone else has.

Your first step toward healing is to identify what your jealousy is covering up.

If you’ve struggled with jealousy for a while, you might need personal help from a counselor or marriage coach to identify the source of your jealousy.

2. Jealousy Robs You of Energy Needed to Strengthen Your Marriage

Over time, unresolved jealousy builds a wall between you and your spouse. This disconnection takes a massive toll on your marriage.

It weakens your closeness and connection (in other words, intimacy).

Plus, the amount of energy you put into trying to control your spouse and their behavior to keep things feeling “safe” will rob you of the ability to protect your marriage the right way—by filling it with love and trust.

3. Jealousy Robs You From Speaking the Truth

Jealousy puts so much red tape between your emotional intimacy that it will become harder and harder to communicate with each other.

Think about what happens to your conversations if you are jealous about your spouse’s work, friends, free time, workouts, entertainment… The list goes on and on.

Every time you argue about one of these topics, all of your jealousy comes with you.

To address this issue, you may need to learn new skills to handle conflict or have meaningful conversations.

Please note: Finding out that there is infidelity occurring in your marriage is an entirely different scenario than merely feeling jealous or suspicious, and it will require a different response. If your marriage has experienced infidelity, consider seeking counseling or marriage coaching to get the personal help you need.

Showering together is a simple way to deepen your intimacy with your spouse.

You can strengthen physical intimacy through loving touches and build emotional intimacy through deep conversations.

Yet among the ONE Family, showering together as spouses isn’t a common occurrence. In fact, over 70% of you never shower together.

There are plenty of reasons you might feel showering together isn’t feasible.

But with 29% of couples showering together at least once a week (and many who swear by it!), you could be overlooking some of the marriage-changing benefits of this activity.

It’s possible showering together is hardly on your radar. Perhaps your parents never showered together, so you’re not used to the idea.

Or for you, your only bit of alone time might come when you are in the shower, especially if you have kids at home.

There are plenty of other reasons you might not be showering together...

But if you’re part of the 71% of couples in the ONE Family who never partake in this activity, give it a shot this week.

And if this is part of your routine, keep it up!
