The 7 Deadly Sins in a Relationship

The 7 deadly sins in a relationship can cause conflict, contempt, and arguments that could ruin the bond you have with your partner.

These sins are applicable to all aspects of life, especially in relationships.

Once you acknowledge that you’re committing the sin, it’s time to work on yourself and fix what you’re doing. If you don’t, your relationship may disintegrate along with your happiness.

Here are the 7 deadly sins in a relationship:

1. Lust

Feeling lust for your partner is great, but if your eyes begin to wander and you lust over others, it could lead to cheating. Although this sin usually relates to sexual desire, it may also mean you desire material things or power.

2. Gluttony

Overconsumption of food is enjoyable for some, but it could kill the intimacy in your relationship. Eating too much will likely lead to obesity, and then your partner may not be attracted to you anymore.

3. Greed

This is another sin of desire (just like lust, gluttony, and envy). Being greedy is dangerous for a relationship because you may never be satisfied with what you have. You’ll always want more, and your partner will worry that he/she isn’t good enough.

4. Sloth

Sloth is laziness. When you get lazy in life, your relationship will suffer. You start losing your passion and drive, and your partner will notice that you don’t seem to put in effort anymore. It’s a definite turn-off, and you may end up alone.

5. Wrath

If you’re so angry all the time that people are afraid you’ll go into a rage, it’s time to take a step back and analyze your behavior. Your partner won’t want to communicate with you and will eventually leave to avoid your wrath.

6. Envy

When you’re jealous of what others have, it will eat away at you and distract you from what you already do have. You may start to ignore your partner and focus on everything you’re lacking in life, and then you’ll soon end up envious and alone.

7. Pride

Pride, the original and most dangerous sin, means you’re completely selfish and you put your own desires and wants before others. You believe you’re better than everyone, and your partner won’t appreciate being thought of as inferior.
