In this Faith at Home conversation, we explore jealousy in marriage through a biblical lens, offering encouragement and clarity for everyday family life. This hope filled conversation speaks into faith and family, supporting parents who desire to strengthen faith, nurture family faith, and build strong families rooted in Scripture.

In this episode, Lynette shares pastoral insight and biblical wisdom on navigating jealousy within marriage when it is rooted not in wrongdoing, but in woundedness. This conversation gently unpacks how unresolved pain, insecurity, and past experiences can distort trust and strain covenant relationships.

Rather than responding out of fear or accusation, Scripture invites couples into grace-filled discernment—where compassion and boundaries work together, healing is pursued with humility, and marriage remains a place of safety, dignity, and restoration.

🌿 In this episode, we explore:

• God’s design for marriage as a place of safety and trust

• Jealousy rooted in woundedness rather than present sin

• The emotional cost for the accused spouse

• Compassion without self-erasure

• Healthy boundaries as an act of love

• Seeking healing, counsel, and restoration

This episode forms part of our ongoing focus on faith at home, Christian family life, and family discipleship, equipping parents to strengthen faith, nurture family faith, and build strong families through everyday obedience and grace.

Whether you are walking through marital strain or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and reassurance that God’s grace meets us even in the most difficult places of faith and family life.
