True Love series: What it
means to say Love Does Not Envy
Everybody
is in love these days but are they truly in love? We have all agreed that Love
Does Not Envy but how come people who are supposedly in love kill each other or
envy get jealous of each other?
When
they say love does not envy, it means you love your spouse whether they are
doing better than you or not. You even love them more when they are doing
better than you.
Life is not a
competition
It
should be your joy that your spouse is getting ahead in life. When you find yourself
sad that your partner is ahead and you are not, that is enviness, and it is not
love. It is one of the ways to stiphon your love and make you hostile to your
partner.
When
we say Love Does Not Envy, we are saying that you will happy for your spouse’s
progress. You will not immediately launch into a competition to get ahead of
your spouse. You will celebrate your spouse and even help them achieve
more.
Deliberate praise of your
partner
Love
does not envy philosophy should make you praise your spouse when they do
worthwhile things and make great strides. It must not only be done in public
but done more in private. Your spouse must always believe that you have their
back and you are comfortable in your own skin.
The
world often pitches couples together making one of them believe that it is
wrong for the woman to be ahead of the man. It is a lie you must not believe.
Our path are different in life and our time are not the same. When it’s
your partners time, be there for them. And when your time comes, he or she will
celebrate you as well.
In conclusion
This
is how Google defines ENVY:
“a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck”Definition of ENVY according to Google.
When
you feel discontented, sit back and remind yourself that when your partner
prospers, you are actually also prospering because you are one.

case the feeling of resentment comes on you, draw your part we close and
reassure him/her of your love and support.
