I think the feeling of jealousy decreases by the years of relationship. The things that make you jealous become really the serious things, I guess if your husband starts to have an affair with a woman, then you will get jealous. Just an imaginative scenery.
Then there´s this sweet kind of jealousy, usually at the begining of a relationship. If he admires a woman, you wish it was you, and you tease him, nothing harmful. Just you´re looking for attention from his part. An initial phase in a relationship, where you´re hungry for love and attention.
Jealousy is not a pure emotion, it´s complexed, and consists of different emotions. It has degrees and types. A little bit of sun at the right dose gives fresshness and vitality to your skin, but too much of sun burns your skin. When it starts to annoy your partner or/and limits his/her life, then it becomes harmful both to you and to your relationship.
But at the same time, at right times, and in right degrees, it makes the one you´re jealous of feel himself/herself loved and protected. And as well, being a little bit of jealous motivates you to improve yourself.
Lovers in the beginning of the relationships resembles little children. It´s real. Most of the attitudes and feelings of lovers show similarity with children. Like a little child getting jealous of his/her mother´s attention going to someone else, a lover do not want to share his lover. It does not mean that the child does not trust his/her mum, in the contrary she´s his/her most trusted.
"in my opinion", jealousy has always existed in romantic relationships even though we are not classified as a jealous person and as it has survived till today, it must have kind of benefits to the relationship.
