Actually, now that I've had time to think about it ... any "hobby" can be deemed a marriage wrecker if "abused".
A fanatical love for cars, stamps, soccer, sitting in a pub, you name it ... I'm sure there are people who have taken their marriage/relationships to the edge and gone by putting too much time into other activities, and not spending enough time with spouses/partners/children. Why, even too much work can kill a relationship. You have to now when to call it quits. When to sit on on the couch, snuggle, talk, spend quality time together. I think it all comes down to will power and time management. As well as what are your priorities in life. Some people can juggle it all! BUT! Also, be aware, that sometime, some relationships cannot be saved, and it is not anyone's fault, some people do grow out of each other, for whatever reasons.
