What does the Bible say about jealousy in marriage?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible addresses jealousy through the law given in Numbers 5, illustrating how God provided a means to resolve suspicion and restore the innocent.

In Numbers 5, God provides a precept for dealing with jealousy in marriage, emphasizing the importance of truth and reconciliation. This law required a jealous husband to bring his wife before a priest, who would administer a specific ritual. The purpose of this ritual was to determine the truth and either condemn the guilty or justify the innocent, thereby addressing the spirit of jealousy in the husband. This teaches that jealousy, when founded on love, seeks resolution and restoration rather than destruction.
