Romans 3:12 says, "All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." Verse 23 explains, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
The Bible says we're sinners. And when we live with someone, there's little we can hide. In marriage, sinful natures surface in one way or another.
Sin is rebellion against God. It's trusting in only yourself. It's a failure to do right and persistence in doing wrong. It shows up first in our thoughts, then it's revealed by words and actions.
Sin separates. It tears us away from God. It messes up our relationships, including our marriages.
