That Jealous Feeling? It Might Be Godly Love Guarding Your Marriage

So if God is righteously jealous for our undivided love, it follows that healthy Christian marriage will reflect appropriate jealousy for the exclusivity of the marital covenant, the vow they took. It's the protective love of a faithful husband who refuses to share his wife's heart with another, and vice versa. It's vow-honoring passion. Biblical jealousy in marriage is the desire to guard the sacredness of the marriage union. To protect the intimacy, emotionally and physically, that God designed. It looks like a deep desire to guard that emotional, spiritual, and physical oneness you promised each other. Feeling a righteous ache when something threatens that oneness, like noticing your spouse frequently sharing intimate details with someone else or drifting toward habits like pornography. It's motivated by love and honor, wanting the best for your spouse and for the sacredness of your union.
