Question: Hello, I have a question regarding sin and marriage, since you become 'one' when you are married in the eyes of the church if a husband commits a sin is the wife also to blame for the sin?

Answer: 

Hi and thanks for your question! No, the wife is off the hook unless she took some action in the "sin."
