If sins destroy relationships, why do we find some sinners having good relationships despite their sinning? 

ANSWER:

Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullah said:

"وأهل المعاصي والفسوق وإن كان بينهم نوعُ مودّةٍ وتحابٍّ، فإنها تنقلبُ عداوةً وبغضًا، وفي الغالب يتعجل لهم ذلك في الدنيا قبل الآخرة، وأما في الآخرة فـ {الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ} [الزخرف: 67]" 

“Concerning the people of sin and immorality, even if there is some form of affection and love between them, (inevitably) it turns to enmity and hatred, and most often this (outcome) is hastened for them in this world before the Hereafter. As for the Hereafter, then (Allah has said): 

{الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ}

'Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to one another, except for the righteous.'

[Al-Zukhruf: 67].” 

[Ighaathatul-lahfaan (2/155)]
