Determine to become your spouse’s biggest fan and to reject any thoughts of jealousy. To help set your heart on your spouse and focus on their achievements, take yesterday’s list of negative attributes and discreetly burn it. Then share with your spouse how glad you are about a success he or she recently enjoyed.
Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire. – Song of Solomon 8:6
So I read this, and thought it was kind of weird. But I did it, anyways. First, I lit the corner with a match. It kind of burned slowly, eating away at the edges, blackening them. But as the fire progressed, it got quicker and quicker, so I threw it in the fire. It just disintegrated. And surprisingly, I felt a bit like I'd let those negative things go. Just let them go away from my mind, or that they didn't matter too much anymore. I think I should let them go. Maybe not completely, so that I can share with him more how that stuff makes me feel, but just not let them effect my feelings towards him so much.
