I know three other married couples, close enough that myself or my wife talks to them at least a few times a week.
Marriage #1 are two people who are playful with each other, and they point out hot people to each other. I think they have been married 15 years.
Marriage #2 are a couple who don’t get along that well, the husband gets jealous if the wife even looks at another person of the male persuasion. Not sure how long they’ve been married, but it’s not long.
Marriage #3 are a couple who jokes with each other about it, “haha, I saw you looking at him/her”. They get along pretty well. They’ve been married either 49 or 50 years.
Of course ancedote≠data, and I don’t know everyone, but it seems to me the couple that gets jealous doesn’t have the best time.

I hope not. I would be miserable in such an insecure relationship.
