Is there any correlation between the two emotions. Or is it just a play of words?

It is ideal to not feel jealous, but it is extremely natural to feel a little jealous. Infact, if somewhere were not jealous or possessive at all, it would make me wonder if they even care to truly be with me. But, don't get me wrong - jealousy is a very destructive emotion. One has to unleash it very very subtly. Too much of it is damaging. Just a little bit is okay. Think with you mind, reason it out whether there is reason for you to feel that way? If something is wrong, state it, discuss it, look for solutions. But if you feel you are in the wrong and there really is nothing to worry, then don't go further with it. It is our instinct to be protective towards the one we love, but what if that protection starts suffocating them and makes them feel mistrusted? Not good at all for the relation.
So in little subtle doses it is fine, even natural, but don't take it far. Have control over your thoughts, and perhaps most of them are just fears.
ps: If my partner were 100% non-possessive - not asking me ANY questions, letting me go whereever, meet whoever, I would actually doubt his love. Maybe weird, but that's how I feel.

Jealousy has nothing to do with love. It could be argued that jealousy works against love. Showing you care deeply is not the same as jealousy at all. Jealousy shows a lack of self confidence and a lack of trust in the other person. How can love be healthy and grow after that.

Wow I like this question interesting I would hope that jealousy is not around when there is love but you see there are evil people out there in the sense that their souls are dark and they are not happy in life so if they see another content even with love of God alone they can become jealous. The point being is that we are all created for love each and everyone of us and we learn to put the jealous misconceptions aside and believe that we are all worthy human beings and we are all capable of love and to give it and receive it :))))There is a correlation for sure :))))

Love is a mutual sharing but jealousy is a desire to possess. People make the mistake of associating the two when they are actually unrelated. True love is free of the desire to possess somebody. It is based on trust and respect. Trying to own the person has no place in it.
If you are jealous, examine your feelings. Isn't it a desire to hold that person and never let go? That is a fear of loss and a very primitive thing. It has nothing to do with loving that person because if you loved them you would not wish to cage them.

Jealousy is a very negative emotion and an immature one. Jealousy is the antithesis of trust. When you love, love openly with trust. Unless you have a reason not to trust the person you love, leave the insecurity of jealousy where it belongs, in the trash. Blessings on you.

Jealousy's one of the least likely emotions to be controllled from causing trouble when it's around - it boils down to if you're insecure or not about comparing disfavourably to others - and let's face it one whole loada people are insecure.
The better you know yourself the less likely you are to let ONLY an emotion dictate your actions and the more likely you are not to suffer ill effects

well actually if u think about it there is a correlation between these two words.when we love someone (either friend or sth more)we care so much about him and sometimes we have this feeling that we don't want to lose him in order to be jealous of people who are so close to him,,,so we are afraid of losing him and maybe our relationship won't be the same....u know...it does make sense.!!!!!!

in true love there is no room for jealousy, so to speak. but sadly jealousy is making in roads. and this is one reason for couple to break-up. it's a sorry state that we can't seem to avoid in the present day scenarios. the Bible gives the best definition of love, where we see the qualities of love.
----------------
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
----------------
there is no being who can LOVE as God did and does.

with true love, no. no connection what so ever. Love is Patient. Love is kind. Love does not harbor jealous feelings, and Love is limitless.
as for desire, yes there is a close connection between desire and jealously. if you dont get what you desire, and someone else does, you want what they have. this is jealously, the desire for what someone else has obtained.
And everything is just a play on words, this is no different
