NEVER. EEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEER. MARRY. AN. ADDICT.
An addict is anyone who uses anything other than a relationship with Jesus Christ to make themselves feel pleasure. These things include:
-Alcohol
-Cigarettes
-Drugs (Including Weed)
-Excessive use of prescription meds and painkillers
-Porn (This includes "Fifty Shades of Grey")
-Masturbation
-Excessive or perverted sexual activity (which is anything outside of a one-man, one-woman marriage, anything which is violent, anything that involves multiple partners or swinging, anything that involves shaky electronic devices, anything that occurs during her "time of the month", and anything that involves sticking things where the sun don't shine)
-Hobbies/work indulged in excess (including sports, shopping, social media and video games)
-Food and drink indulged in excess
Remember, an addict's vice is their idol. It's more important to them than Jesus Christ is. And if they put it before Jesus, they will put it before you and your marriage!
Don't try to save them. You're job is not to be Dr. Phil. You're job is to glorify and honor Jesus Christ, and to do that, you must marry a godly, sober-minded woman who puts Him above all else. That way, you both can have a Christ-centered, one-man, one-woman marriage, and lead people to surrender to Jesus Christ so that He will spare them from an eternity of torture and suffering in the Lake of Fire. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*
*Romans 6:23
