Making the Most of Jealousy by Lynette De Vries For as long as we can remember, it has been the focus of Top 40 songs, box office smashes and talk shows.
People take jealousy and turn it into self-doubt, insecurity and desperation.
We might come across a photo a lover's ex and lie awake that night, comparing our own inadequacies to that ex's perfection. We might intercept a phone call from a spouse's husky-voiced coworker and turn a harmless conversation into the basis for an interrogation. We're all guilty of jealousy, to one degree or another, but there are ways to use this vice to benefit you, your partner and your relationship. Instead of making your partner or spouse feel like a monster for admiring another person's beauty, encourage it. Point out another person's flawless physique or treat your spouse to an erotic video that features both women and men.
