If it's not dealt with, it will weaken the foundation of your connection until there's a wall between you and your spouse.

In today's article, we're sharing the top 3 reasons jealousy is wrecking your marriage and what to do about it.

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.

Not sure if there’s jealousy in your marriage? Try some of these scenarios on for size and see if you can find yourself in them.

Do you…

• Find yourself sneaking looks into your spouse’s phone, computer, and other communications with the “outside” world?
• Become like a cornered rattlesnake when your husband or wife looks at a member of the opposite sex?
• Pull up a table, a chair, and a lamp and interrogate your spouse as to where they’ve been, who they’ve been doing it with, and why?
• Experience feelings of extreme anxiety when they are not around you?

If you have ever been on the giving or receiving end of any of these activities, jealousy is likely taking root in your marriage.

Not only does jealousy prevent you from dealing with your own issues, but it limits your emotional intimacy as a couple.

And when your Emotional Intimacy Pillar has cracks in it, you risk developing cracks in the rest of your 6 Pillars of Intimacy®.

That’s why it’s important to take action.

​➡️ Here's how to address jealousy in your marriage the RIGHT way... ​

Let's Get Real About Oral Sex

“Oral sex can be foreplay, the main course or the dessert!” —Anonymous

Stop talking about it with your friends and start the conversation where it belongs – with your spouse!

There’s no right or wrong, but don’t let stigmas or myths rob you of better intimacy.

Did you know that amongst married couples, 84% of married couples have oral sex at least monthly?

88% of them use it primarily as foreplay and not the main event, and both husbands and wives give and receive oral sex approximately twice per month.

But most people (even those who do it regularly) don’t really know where their spouse stands – because most people aren’t having honest conversations here.

This is hurting marriages; whenever we can be intensely vulnerable with our spouse in one way, but are afraid to be honest verbally.

We want to equip you to change that.

We know there are hurdles to mutually enjoyable oral sex, and these must be dealt with or else you’ll be stuck in one of two camps: those who don’t do it (and maybe one partner is disappointed) and those who suffer through it (and sex isn’t meant to be a burden)!

Let’s be real about it — and start the conversation with your spouse today.
