Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection.
Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust.
Rather than letting jealousy deteriorate your relationship with others, use its appearance as a reason to work on yourself and to understand the fears that drive it.
"I love you, not because you are perfect, but because you are so perfect for me ...."

Signs You’re in A Life Long Relationship: 1. You Have
Unbreakable Trust In
a committed relationship, trust usually ranks in the top 5 must-have
characteristics of a partner for a reason: without trust, you can’t have a
solid foundation to build on your relationship. You must be able to trust your
partner and count on him or her to show honesty, no matter the circumstances.
If you truly have trust in the relationship, you can depend on your partner for
anything, and you never feel like he or she is hiding something from you. 2. You Share Common
Values and Morals While
you both may enjoy the same type of ice cream and favor comedies over horror
movies, a long-term relationship requires more than just shared interests and
hobbies. After the first couple dates, both of you may have started talking
about your morals, religious or spiritual beliefs, your outlook on life, and
your long-term goals. For a relationship to last, you both need to share the same
general ethics and ideals about life, because these determine many aspects of
how you live.
For
example, if you are a vegan or vegetarian and your partner still eats meat, you
may clash with him or her in the future about your stance on animal cruelty. If
your partner wants kids down the road but you don’t, this would obviously cause
friction in the relationship. Your hobbies and interests can change yearly,
monthly, or even daily, but deep-rooted convictions generally never change. If
you want to grow in the same direction with someone in the future, you will
probably want to find a partner whose general values and morals in life match
up with yours, or at least come close.
3. They Always Remind
You of How Amazing You Are In
the first couple months of the relationship, the novelty of it will make you
feel like you had the air knocked out of you, and you and your partner probably
can’t get enough of each other. But if your relationship is in it for the long
haul, your guy or girl will always make you feel special, even after the
newness of the relationship has worn off. He or she still honors your amazing
qualities after months, or even years of being together, and can see your
beauty even on days where you don’t see it yourself. If both of you can still recognize
each others positive qualities even on the darkest of days, you have found a
truly special connection. 4. You Say “I Love
You” Often Those
three words symbolize a deep affinity for another person, and represent who we
all are at the core of our being. People in committed relationships have simply
found someone that matches the frequency they emit into the world, and can
share that deep bond with one another.
If
you feel truly comfortable saying those three words without feeling awkward or
vulnerable, and your partner says them back, you have likely found someone who
truly loves you on the deepest level.
5. You Feel
Comfortable Around Your Partner’s Family The
day will come when your partner wants you to meet their family, because in a
committed relationship, some people say you aren’t just dating your boyfriend
or girlfriend; you are in a relationship with his or her entire family. Getting
to know them is just as important as getting to know your lover, because you
will inevitably see them at family functions in the future, and you want to
make sure you can feel comfortable around them.
A
person’s family is one of the biggest parts of his or her life, and your
partner’s mom might become your mother-in-law before you know it. If you feel
at ease around the family, you will probably keep a close relationship with
them, which will further enhance you and your partner’s relationship, too.
6. You Have Deep
Conversations Often
The
ability to have meaningful conversation aside from how your workday was, or what
bills need to be paid, or who gets to do the dishes tonight is a telling sign
of the intimacy of your relationship. If you can talk openly and honestly about
anything under the sun, and beyond, you might have found a partner that will
stick around for a while. When you talk about your philosophies about life, or
your deepest secrets, you allow new channels to open up within your
relationship that will strengthen your bond and help remind you what attracted
you to your partner in the first place.
7. You Feel Safe and
Protected Around Each Other A
romantic relationship should feel like “coming home,” which is usually a place
where you feel warm, welcomed, and loved. You should never feel alienated,
threatened, or confused about how your partner feels about you, or his or her
level of commitment to you. After a long day at work, you probably can’t wait
to get home and fondly embrace him or her and shower them with love and
attention. A strong relationship will make you feel like all the world’s problems
melt away in the presence of your partner, and you will never have to wonder
about his or her intentions with you. 8. You Can Share Your
Problems Without Feeling Like a Burden If
something is bothering you, you should be able to go to your partner without
feeling like an unnecessary weight on their shoulders. While you should also be
able to deal with problems yourself, having the support and guidance from your
partner can help you through the situation at hand. They should actually want
to take on the issue and help you brainstorm some solutions. A committed
partner will always serve as your shield from life’s storms, and help you see
the sun even through the dark clouds. 9. Your Partner
Encourages You to Follow Your Dreams Even
if your dream requires you to travel or commit to a huge project, your partner
will support you every step of the way. They will realize that you following
your dreams will help you reach ultimate fulfillment, and will put your
happiness above theirs. A good partner will not discourage you from your
happiness for selfish reasons, such as waiting for them to finish school or
find a career before YOU can do something that resonates with you. While both
of you will likely share a similar life path if you are in a long-term
relationship, you might suddenly have an epiphany about your true life purpose
somewhere along the way. Your partner will stand beside you, regardless of
where your dreams take you or what that might mean for the status of the
relationship.

Pope Francis:
It is not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. It is not necessary to go to church and give money – for many, nature can be a church. Some of the best people in history did not believe in God, while some of the worst deeds were done in His name. –
