When sin is allowed to get out of control in a marriage, the marriage will fail to provide the happiness and companionship that God intended. Let us consider some of the more destructive sins that can cause great unhappiness in marriage. Too many people forget that laziness is a sin. Laziness is a major cause of evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Love requires commitment and work.
Those who are lazy are seldom willing to use that much energy. Lazy people think that love is just something that happens. Love to a lazy person is like an accident. Laziness is why there are so many husbands who do not love their wives and why there are so many wives who do not love their husbands. Marriage fails to bring great happiness when people do not work hard enough to create love and build marital relationships.
