A big No! Except you are insecure and you fear you might lose your lover,then you possess envy in large qualities.

It ruins the relationship in the longrun as it does not even form a minute part of love i must say.

Theres nothing wrong in been jealous as long as the emotional reaction doesn't lead to termination of life.
Been jealous as a matter of fact is natural and healthy,despite while in some quarters,jealousy is seen as a weakness.

You cant genuinely love someone and notice strange affection from strangers overshadow yours over a particular individual or situation and not have a tinge of jealousness.Its natural

Even God the creator admitted Hes a jealous God despite been known as. "Love".

For example,no mother on earth would sit back or turn away and just let be when she observes her child seems to be receiving more affection from another woman.The Jealous emotion kicks in automatically.

I wonder why people tag love as somethin that only occur between a man and a woman, which is not so. It is suppose to be a way of life. 1corinthians 13 1:8
Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant, 5 it isn’t rude, it doesn’t seek its own advantage, it isn’t irritable, it doesn’t keep a record of complaints, 6 it isn’t happy with injustice, but it is happy with the truth.

7 Love puts up with all things, trusts in all things, hopes for all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails.
If its not this then it is not love.

obayaya: Jealousy is a complex emotion. Jealousy as regards relationships is basically borne out of fear of abandonment.

if you love someone, it's completely normal to be scared of losing that someone.

So, Jealousy is definitely a part of Love.

You deserv a coke for this

Jealousy is simply human nature.

The key here is knowing how to control it.

Even the bible says our God is a jealous God, so i think whem you love someone you would be jealous but too much of it is not so good. Obsession kills

Teespice: So an argument is going on right now in my room now as regard the question above. personally, I feel a little jealousy is healthy in relationships. what won't be healthy is when it spiralls out of control and leads to obsession.

let's hear different views.


I believe the level of jealousy goes to show the level of love.

Nevertheless we must learn to control it but its very healthy to be jealous,afterall,GOD is a jealous creator and we are made in his likeness.

YES! Jealousy is part of love!
Re: Is Jealousy Part Of Love? by hightempo(m): 6:20am On Sep 24, 2014
Jealousy is mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear
of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or
aims.....it is not part of love but the other end of the pole of love.. As a proffesional psychologists, almost everybody do av it in a proportion but its a kind of emotional and mental disorder when thought is given to it in extreme.....the outcome is not always palatable as it can be traced to many mental and physical pain it eventually leads to when care is not taken. Individual with master mind knows this, and consequently take charge of their mind..whenever u feel an element of jealousy within you, don't dwell on it but rather counter it with affirmation that you wouldn't waste ur latent energy, and take a breath... Take control of ur mind......direct ur thought and control ur emotion. JEALOUSY leads to evil..........it is not good. U can't love and be jealous at the same time.
Re: Is Jealousy Part Of Love? by Nobody: 6:21am On Sep 24, 2014
We are humans! Jealousy is second nature!..... But that's just one piece of the puzzle. To trully love n be in a relationship, there has to be trust!! So with jealousy and trust on both side of d relationship. U can boast of a smooth sailing one.

In fact if you are not the type to ask me who I'm with, why I'm late, who is she and all that ? I won't even take you serious.

@ Teespice, i think it's a yes. For those of us who are christians if our God can be jealous towards us who are we humans not to feel the same emotion towards those we love?

ochon: Personally, I can't date or marry any girl that doesn't have a tinge of jealousy for me, and vice versa.

Small jealousy or moderate jealousy is needed, it shows one cares about his or her significant partner. Jealousy is man's nature, so it's nothing to be ashamed of.

However excessive or over-the-top jealousy, is a no-no for me. It kills my love for a girl faster than a marksman bullet to his target. When a girl gets overtly jealous over little things, or even ask I cut off my female friends that have been there before she came, without any CREDIBLE reason(s), then I'll have to find my way out of that relationship. Most times, it leads to headaches from the nagging partner.

But one partner should try his or her best toe open about his or her dealings with opposite genders, to reduce his or her partner getting jealous. Don't give him or her reasons to get overtly jealous.

Normal jealousy - a welcome development

Excessive jealousy - hell to the NO!!

U made sense, clap for yourslf. Order for isiewu nd uku uku, bill it to me!

When you truly love someone and you not getting loved back in the same measure, and again you're not assured of the relationship, it's normal to be jealous. You love someone the thought of losing him/her is so strong then it's normal to be jealous. I think it's healthy to be jealous, it makes one value his/her spouse.

A bit of it is necessary but be excessively jealous poses insecurity on ur own part undecided

A healthy dose of jealousy is a part of human beings. It is normal and expected in a relationship and it occurs if you trully care about someone.

Jealousy is that emotion that makes a person fight for love in the case of two rivals.

Jealousy is when you can't bear the thought of another person having any form of intimacy with your partner.

Jealousy is that emotion that allows you to get hurt when you feel your partner is cheating on you.

Jealousy makes you put in your best in your relationship so that your partner sees no one but you.

Its not about being insecure. I may be secure in a man's love for me but he is human and humans have weaknesses. If as a result of this weakness he cheats on me, or just looks at another woman with desire in his eyes, i will be hurt. I will be hurt because i love and care about him. That feeling of 'hurt' stems from jealousy. But if it doesn't bother me. If i have no qualms about his unfaithfulness whether true of false, then i don't love him. And whatever he does will have no effect on me.
