For those who have been in the movement for a while, how have you handled jealousy issues?

How do I deal with jealousy?

I hide out in the workshop . . .

i have too admit, this is very funny. However, from a real life perspective, if jealousy is rising up to the point that one hides in the worskshop, it is time for the head of the house to bring some loving correction into the home. God hates sinful jealousy.

It depends on how high the level rises. In resolving conflicts between the wives, be they jealousy or any other ill feeling. It is first of all their responsibility to settle it with each other without my interference. In the event that they can't, then they are to bring it to me. In my family, it is always settled between them and I have never-ever had to come stomping into the house to rule by fiat. Maybe I am fortunate in that my wives are fully adult and fully responsible people.

The few times that I do have to correct either of them, is when catty and inappropriate comments are made to me in the absence of the other spouse. Most of the time, they are minor comments, but I don't want this sort of thing to go on.

How ever, In this family, it is more usual that the women correct me for going into a snit over the other wifes actions and bitching about it out of earshot.

Of course, the first step is always for the wives to work it out among themselves, but the impression given about "hiding in the workshop" appeared to suggest that this was ongoing, and if that is the case, it is absolutely the responsibility for the head of the household to lovingly correct and adjust the situation.

I think I am going to have to work on being a little more descriptive in my humor. :)
